About Coral

Coral is a deep technical site off Playa Blanca, built around steep volcanic relief and dark water at depth. The site is known for black coral and gorgonians, with a mix of larger Atlantic species moving through the area, including groupers, barracuda, tuna, stingrays, and occasional angel sharks. It is a dive for careful planning, solid buoyancy, and divers who are comfortable with demanding open-water profiles.
