Sorpresa

Sorpresa truly lives up to its name. We love this pinnacle because you never quite know what you're going to get, though it's rarely a disappointment. Dropping down to 27m, the main event here is usually a massive school of Bigeye Jacks. They'll often form a swirling tornado around you, so dense it feels like the light dims for a moment. It’s a proper sensory hit, the sound of their movement, the shadows shifting. Visibility here averages around 11m, which might not sound much, but it often adds to the dramatic atmosphere with those Jacks. We've seen plenty of stingrays gliding past and the occasional eagle ray too. Keep an eye out for Freckled Morays tucked into the crevices; they're usually just peeking out. Sorpresa is definitely one for the more experienced diver comfortable with deeper profiles, and it’s a site that rewards repeat visits.
