About Laguna de Apoyo 60m Spot
Laguna de Apoyo is a volcanic crater-lake training line with steep walls, warm freshwater, and a private mooring setup. Divers usually shore-swim to the line, then work a clean descent in calm water with little wave action and no meaningful current. Visibility is variable rather than glass-clear, so it rewards disciplined depth work more than sightseeing. Marine life is limited to a small freshwater fish community.

Local Intel For Laguna de Apoyo 60m Spot
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Scuba is possible in the crater lake, but the site is better known as a freediving training venue than a reef-style sightseeing dive.
Freedive
Primary freediving training site with a clean line available to 60 m.
Snorkel
Snorkeling is possible near the shallower edge, but the steep drop-off and variable visibility make it less compelling than the freedive line.
