Shore launch in a surf-prone bay; the site is shallow, so the main planning issue is timing the break and avoiding the rocks.
About Los Tubos
Playa Los Tubos, Manatí is a shallow north-coast shore dive built around a former boat-ramp and beach-launch area in a surf-prone bay. The bottom mixes sand and rock, with naturally formed arches and old anchors that make it useful for buoyancy work, training laps, and relaxed exploration when the summer swell is mellow. Expect small tropical fish, occasional turtles or rays, and a shoreline that rewards careful timing rather than long surface swims.
