About This Dive Spot
La Emboscada features a steep wall that begins at a depth of 2 meters and descends to a cooled lava flow between 20 and 32 meters. The wall is characterized by lava fingers extending into a sandy bottom. In the northeastern section, rock formations create gorges, and deeper areas reveal caves and openings. The reef top hosts schools of yellowtail, garfish, and parrotfish, while the wall attracts predatory species such as barracudas, tunas, and bonitos.
