    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Boca del Drago offers a gentle drift along a sloping reef, good for those still building confidence in currents. We often spot white-tip reef sharks cruising the deeper sections and rays on the sandy bottom. Visibility can vary, especially after heavy rain, but it’s generally a relaxed dive with consistent opportunities to see larger pelagics moving through.
