Dos Amigos Pequeño is one of those spots that just sticks with you. It’s got these two rocky islets, sure, but what really grabs you are the arches and tunnels beneath the surface. We always drop in expecting big things, and Dos Amigos Pequeño rarely disappoints. We’ve drifted past schools of hammerheads here, sometimes hundreds strong, like a shimmering wall moving through the blue. What we particularly love, though, are the whitetip reef sharks. Find a good cave or overhang, settle in, and watch them pile up, dozens of them just stacked on top of each other, resting out of the current. It’s not uncommon to see a whale shark cruise by in the distance, a gentle giant adding to the already dramatic scene. You’ll definitely want to keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, like the iridescent rainbow basslets flitting about or the quirky rounded batfish. It’s a site that rewards patience and a keen eye, perfect for divers who appreciate both the pelagic show and the intricate details of a vibrant reef.
