About This Dive Spot

El Tazar features a notable rock tower to the north that creates a narrow gorge with a sharp 90-degree angle. In front of this tower, large lava blocks descend rapidly into sandy depths, resembling a domino arrangement. The steep walls of the site are home to schools of barracudas and bonitos. Among the lava formations, divers can observe groupers, moray eels, and parrotfish, while tube eels can be found in the sandy areas.
