El Barco

El Barco is a large rock slab on the sandy plain off Puerto Piramides, about ten minutes by boat from the beach. Its shape gives the impression of diving alongside a ship, which explains its name. Boulders around it form arches, corridors, small tunnels and caves, and many fish gather beneath the overhangs. A dive blog describes using it for the deep dive on an advanced course, reaching 27 m.
