About El Marrajo
El Marrajo is a shallow shoal near Lobos with white sand, scattered rock formations, and a very bright, easy-to-read profile. It is a beginner-friendly site with a simple bottom shape and plenty of small life around the rocks, so it works well for relaxed scuba sessions and calm-day snorkeling or freediving. The boat plan is short and low-friction when the sea is settled, which keeps the dive straightforward while still giving you a clear, shallow scene to read on the day.
