    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    La Jaca Bay makes for an easy dive, a good spot for newer divers to get comfortable. The reef here tops out at 18m, making it ideal for longer bottom times and focusing on buoyancy. We've seen a range of smaller reef fish cruising through the rocks and the occasional octopus tucked away. It’s a solid choice for a relaxed afternoon dip.
