Zona Sur in Los Roques gives you a good mix of everything. Expect to drift along healthy reef walls, often finding schools of jacks and barracuda hanging in the current. It’s a solid dive for advanced open water divers who appreciate healthy corals and larger pelagics moving through. We've often seen Caribbean reef sharks patrolling here too.
