Piedras Altas
To experience this breathtaking dive, a boat is essential. Situated on the west side of the Punta de la Mona cliff, we can easily locate the dive site by referencing the two parallel cracks etched into the cliff wall.
This dive site is teeming with an array of marine life, including schools of bogas, tres colas, sargos, and snappers. Explorers may also encounter amberjacks and discover an abundance of vibrant corals.
Our descent will commence after anchoring at a depth of 12 to 15 meters. It's important to exercise caution and closely monitor our depth, as the dive can reach up to 40 meters in the deepest section. Special attention should be paid to decompression, which can be lengthy depending on our bottom time. The name of the area originates from distinct rock formations, which are actually sizable stones dislodged from the cliff and positioned vertically. With exceptional luminosity, particularly within the first 20 meters, divers will be treated to a stunning landscape, featuring tunnels, overheads, expansive cracks, and captivating overhangs that beckon exploration into the blue depths.
