    La Angelica, just off Varadero, is a straightforward dive down to 16 metres. We’ve always found it to be a good spot for spotting reef fish and the occasional crab hiding in the coral heads. It’s an easy intermediate dive, perfect if you’re looking for a relaxed afternoon exploring the reef without strong currents.
