Punta Gines is a shallow volcanic reef boat dive.
Punta Gines is a short boat dive on a shallow volcanic reef off Playa Blanca, where mushroom-shaped lava ledges and small caves create a relaxed multilevel route. The reef stays bright and easy to read, but the lava shelves still give the dive shape and structure. Divers come here for frequent schools of fish plus angel sharks, rays, moray eels and barracuda. Plan on Marina Rubicon boat logistics and steady buoyancy around the rock work.

Reported Depth
12m - 20m
Depth Note
Multilevel lava reef with the top around 12 m and the bottom reaching about 20 m.

Calm Playa Blanca area conditions and good light penetration over the shallow reef, with the day's wind and swell still setting the comfort level.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight around the lava shelves and small caves; the terrain is forgiving, but careless finning can still stir the reef.

Scuba Diving
Relaxed boat reef with a shallow multilevel lava profile, mushroom-like formations and small caves. Steady buoyancy matters more than depth chasing.
