Los Roncadores

Also known as: The Roncadors · Fish Ball

Divers swim over the top of the reef at 8 to 12 m and then drop down the wall to the sand where the famous shoal of bastard grunts, called roncadores locally, gathers. A local guide puts the shoal at around two thousand fish, mixed with striped bream and watched by barracuda. The cracks of the wall hide many morays and some groupers, and round, common, eagle, marbled electric and butterfly rays appear depending on the season. Angel sharks, axillary wrasse and stargazers in the sand are other sightings. The route can be combined with the caves, the formation called the Finger or the big cave nearby.
