    El Monasterio offers a straightforward dive to 29 meters, ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed bottom time. We found the gentle slopes easy to navigate, with small groups of barracuda often hanging in the blue. Keep an eye out for octopus tucked into the rocks. It’s a solid choice for a second dive of the day.
