    Boca de Esquinzo is a shallow, easy dive, perfect for those new to the water or looking for a relaxed snorkel. The maximum depth is only 10m, so it’s a great spot to practice buoyancy and get comfortable. You’ll find small schools of fish meandering through the rocky patches. We'd suggest it for an afternoon dip, not a dedicated dive trip.
