Shore-entry wall dive on Cerro Gordo.
About Los Molinos
Los Molinos is a shore-entry wall dive on the eastern end of Cerro Gordo in the Maro-Cerro Gordo natural park, with a rocky side, a sandier side, and a clear route into the bay of La Herradura. It is a compact Mediterranean dive for reading benthic life, watching conger eels, octopus, and other wall species, and following the line that suits the current. Treat it as a protected-area dive with park rules, steady winter conditions, and a route that rewards calm buoyancy more than speed.
