Villa Blanca Wall

Also known as: Villa Blanca · Villablanca Wall · Pared de Villablanca

Strong currents keep the reef low in profile, but the sponges and corals are in very good condition, with large barrel and basket sponges and black gorgonians. The drop-off starts some distance from shore, and a small reef at about 12 m lies before it. Scrawled filefish, spotted morays, honeycomb cowfish, turtles and schools of jacks and angelfish are reported. Divers must finish before the main town pier, since drifting under a cruise ship is dangerous and illegal. Because few boats visit, local shops describe the wall as fairly untouched.
