Camino de Altura: Salinas Reef wall with grottos and fish.
Camino de Altura is a boat dive on Salinas Reef with a steep wall, rugged overhangs, and a deep grotto beneath the reef. The route mixes boulder fields, sandy patches, and open-water sections where angel sharks, rays, tuna, and other pelagics can appear. It is best when buoyancy is controlled and the sea is settled enough to keep the outer sections readable.
