Piedra Ahogada is a boat-dived coral rock off the Carabobo coast, with a narrow route that starts low on the formation and works upward in a spiral to the tip. Divers usually finish by tracking the reef left toward the sandy anchorage, so the site suits a guided, route-following dive rather than a freeform drift. The structure is known for hard reef growth and large moray eels tucked into the rock.
