About This Dive Spot

El Boquete is a notable underwater feature characterized by a hole in the wall of the island, providing access to the surface. This site is situated near the San Andres buoy, approximately 6 meters deep on the island's platform. While marine life within the gap is limited, divers can observe the interplay of light filtering through from above. Caution is advised on days with significant wave activity, as conditions can become challenging.
