El Champiñon
This dive site is known as Mushroom Stone, named after a volcanic rock formation shaped like a mushroom. It is situated at the corner of a wall adorned with stunning basaltic formations. Mushroom Stone marks the continuation of the Arcos volcanic wall and serves as the starting point for the Wall dive.
Divers at this site can expect to encounter an array of marine life including king bream, rays, barracuda, angelfish, grouper, cuttlefish, and octopus. Pelagic sightings are also common here, with the possibility of encountering majestic Mantas on multiple occasions.
The ideal way to explore Mushroom Stone is by boat, descending directly to the edge where divers can immerse themselves in the vibrant life teeming along the gigantic wall and in the vast blue expanse. As you traverse the wall, time slips away, and before you know it, it's time to resurface. Ascending towards the surface rocks, you'll be greeted by a flurry of activity as diverse marine life thrives in the area. This stop provides an opportunity for divers to complete their safety stop while marveling at the biodiversity surrounding them.
