Punta Negra is one of the most stunning reefs in the area, home to a rich variety of marine species within a long comfortable drift dive.
The reef features long overhangs and experiences some current, which helps maintain a healthy ecosystem. Light penetrates the clear water effortlessly, resulting in vibrant colours that make it an excellent dive site for photographers. It also offers a fascinating and relaxing drift diving experience. Over thousands of years, the reef has developed due to this region's currents, attracting many pelagic marine species. Its alignment with these currents allows divers to easily follow the coral-covered edge and enjoy a smooth and relaxing drift dive.
