Farol

Farol is a multi-level dive with three distinct steps, from about 4 m down to the high teens. Cracks and small gorges invite exploration, and they shelter many kinds of moray eels, crustaceans and reef fish. On the shallower parts nurse sharks and green turtles feed, and nudibranchs can be found as well. Current is usually light, which makes it a good site for newly certified divers. It is about ten minutes by boat from Santa Maria.
