RED PATH (up to -40 meters)
After a pre-dive check and a bubble check we will descend to -16 meters near the dead body of the buoy. The first fish we will meet will naturally be the large brown groupers. We will begin our journey by swimming towards SOUTH-EAST where on our left at about -25 meters a beautiful wall will begin that goes down to -40 meters where it stops to give space to a bright expanse of light sand. The red gorgonians will attract our attention, in the ravines the lobsters with their long antennae, moray eels and octopuses peep out. It is always advisable to look into the blue where the snappers dive in hunting in the shoals of damselfish.
At the end of the wall and once you have risen again, a wide bay will open up to our left at -18 meters with several boulders scattered between here zigzagging. With the wall on our right we will go up from -12 meters to -8 meters and after a few minutes we will reach the bay from where we started. The last part of the route we will do it by turning around 2 large boulders just detached from the wall where we will also be able to illuminate with the torch the inside of a long and narrow crack that rises to the surface, and then make a jump on another large boulder to the west just after the chain. After 3 minutes at -5 meters we will go up next to the boat.

We will start swimming towards EAST with the promontory on our left at the maximum altitude of -18 meters. After a few minutes before our eyes a beautiful canyon will open that will lead us into the large bay with several boulders scattered between here zigzagging. With the wall on our right we go up from -12 meters to -8 meters and after a few minutes we will reach the bay from where we started.
