Farallón

Farallón is a single giant coral mountain rising from a white sandy bottom at about 29 m to a top at about 17 m. Tunnels about 30 m long, 3 m wide and 10 m high cross it and divide it into four parts. Openings in their roofs let sunlight fall into the tunnels, which makes swimming through them the highlight of the dive. Caribbean reef sharks patrol close to the bottom, and silky sharks also gather at the site. Stingrays are sometimes found resting on the sand.
