About Virgen East

Virgen East is a wall-and-plateau dive in Anda that combines a shallow reef top, a sandy drop-off, and a roomy corner where the reef meets open water. It suits slow, attentive diving for macro subjects in the deeper sand while still leaving room for blue-water passes when the sea is calm, the current stays light, and the boat drop-off is straightforward.
