About This Dive Spot
Bajón del Río features three prominent mushroom-shaped volcanic formations that emerge from the sandy seabed at a depth of approximately 15 meters. These structures have been shaped over time by the action of waves and currents, creating a distinctive underwater landscape. The area is rich in marine life, with schools of breams, dreamfishes, and jacks found beneath the mushrooms. Above, barracudas and amberjacks can be observed, while moray eels, lobsters, nudibranchs, and prawns inhabit the crevices. Rays are often seen resting on the sandy bottom, contributing to the site's biodiversity.
