    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Punta Payape in Los Roques offers a good mix of reef diving and a chance to spot larger pelagics. We've seen schools of snapper move through here, and the occasional reef shark cruises by. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers who want to take their time, or newer divers looking for a comfortable drift.
