    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Corridas, tucked into a corner of Coco Bay, is a site we genuinely enjoy. It's essentially two low pinnacles, a pair of rocky outcrops rising from a sandy floor. Maxing out at 18 meters, you can comfortably explore both on a single dive. The real draw here, and why we always make a point of coming back, is the sheer number of rays. We've seen eagle rays glide by, spotted longtail stingrays partially buried in the sand, even had a close encounter with a bullseye electric ray. Sometimes it feels like a ray convention. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too; the Glossy Blenny is always a treat, and we’ve found Speckled Scorpionfish hugging the rocks. Visibility averages around 7 meters, so it’s not for grand vistas, but it’s perfect for focusing on the details and those incredible ray encounters. We'd suggest going in the morning; the water often feels calmer, and the light can catch the sand just right. Corridas suits divers who appreciate focused, intimate dives, and, of course, anyone with a soft spot for rays.
