    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    La Ensenada offers a straightforward dive, well-suited for less experienced divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. We’ve drifted along gentle slopes here, often spotting plenty of snapper, grunts, and the occasional turtle gliding past. It's a comfortable spot to get in the water and enjoy the calmer side of Los Roques.
