Viva Shallow

Also known as: Guadalupe · Viva Shallows

Viva Shallow lies a few minutes from shore, and its reef top sits only about 5 m below the surface. A small wall about 3 m high is full of holes where morays, lobsters and other animals shelter. Cannons, cannonballs and an old anchor have been set on the reef as a living museum, and PADI links the equipment to the Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe of 1724. Seahorses, frogfish, spotted and southern stingrays and gorgonians are among the sightings named by dive centres. Current is usually very light, which makes it a common training and photo site.
