Buracona - Sal

Buracona is probably better known for its "Blue Eye" cave, a sunlit grotto that's more a snorkel or free-dive spot than a full-on scuba trip. Dive boats will often drop you a little further out, letting you explore volcanic rock formations and some small swim-throughs. It's a decent second dive, good for newer divers looking for straightforward conditions and a bit of sheltered exploration.
