    Playa de las Vistas is a decent spot for a casual dip, especially if you're just starting out or haven't been in the water for a while. It’s pretty shallow, topping out at around 10 meters, so you get plenty of bottom time. We usually see a handful of trumpetfish drifting around, sometimes a cuttlefish tucked into the sand, and the occasional stingray buried too. It's a relaxed, easy entry, good for a refresher or just getting comfortable with your gear again.
