About This Dive Spot
La Herradura features two buoys marking the boundaries of the marine reserve, specifically between zones B and C. Diving is prohibited in zone A. The site is characterized by numerous canyons on the plateau, which can be subject to strong currents, making it unsuitable for novice divers. During spring, the area is known for an abundance of juvenile fish, which later gives way to larger fish as the year progresses.
