Roncadores del Palmar
Roncadores del Palmar is a boat dive over volcanic rock and grunts.
Local operator required
Local boat operators are the practical way to dive it, because the site is reached from the port and conditions can change quickly.
Plan a boat drop from Palm-Mar, expect a volcanic rock-and-sand profile, and treat current and visibility as the main variables.
About Roncadores del Palmar
Roncadores del Palmar is a boat dive off Palm-Mar built around volcanic rock, ledges, and cracks. The route follows a plateau-like profile where grunts school in mid-water, moray eels shelter in the rock, and sandy patches can bring rays and angel sharks. It is usually a straightforward local dive, but visibility and current can change the feel quickly.

Scuba Diving
Best as a guided boat dive along the volcanic plateau and rock cracks, with the school of grunts mid-water and the sand edge worth checking for rays and angel sharks.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site; the boat setup and mid-depth profile make it better for scuba or only for confident freedivers on calm days.
Snorkeling
