About The Tongues
The Tongues is a signature Playa Blanca dive where small lava walls jut from the main reef with sand gaps in between, creating a hand-like layout that is easy to read underwater. The window and archway add a playful photo route without turning the site into a complicated dive. It is a calm, fish-heavy boat dive with a shallow volcanic profile that suits most divers when the water is settled.
