El Boquete
About El Boquete
El Boquete is a hole through the island’s wall that allows access to the surface, creating a light-filled passage. It lies on the island’s platform near the San Andres buoy, around 6 m deep. Marine life inside the gap is limited, with the main attraction being the contrasting light as it filters through from above. Extra caution is needed when there are big waves.
