La Playita is a sheltered spot just off the beach, making it an ideal first dive. At only 8m, it’s shallow and usually calm, perfect for getting comfortable with your gear. You'll likely see small crabs scurrying across the sand and schools of juvenile fish darting amongst the sparse seagrass. It’s a good choice for new divers or those looking for an easy, relaxing splash.
