Bajo La Morra: rocky reserve dive with strong fish life.
Bajo La Morra is a rocky two-part site in the Islas Hormigas reserve, with two adjacent outcrops, a conical high point and a trailing ridge split by a steep gorge. The relief shelters large groupers, barracuda, moray eels, octopus and other reef life, and the dive can feel more demanding when current or a northeast wind builds.
