About Virgen west
Virgen West is a sheltered reef-wall dive in Anda's marine sanctuary, with a shallow coral top, a gradual sandy slope, and plenty of room for slow reef scanning. Turtles are a common highlight, while pygmy seahorses, ghostpipe fish, boxfish, shrimp, seamoths, nudibranchs, and occasional octopus keep the site interesting for photographers. It suits calm-condition boat diving, careful buoyancy, and a relaxed pace.
