About Piedra de la Higuera
Piedra de la Higuera is a large rock in a sandy inlet near Marina del Este and La Herradura, with old cars and a jet ski resting on the bottom. The dive drops away quickly and rewards careful buoyancy, while the rock and surrounding sand hold a rich mix of coral growth, crustaceans, and bigger fish that use the area as a regular stop.
