āEvening is my favorite time of the day at secas. Best places for me are Isla Cocos frigate-birdās treasure colony, Isla Barracuda and its surroundings, Punta Canales beach and the floating platform/my office.ā
DIVE INSTRUCTOR
Maria
āItās not necessary to be an experienced diver here. There are plenty of safe rocks and coral reefs around the archipelago and being surrounded by islands creates a barrier from strong currents and swells, allowing good visibility, too.ā
CAPTAIN
Manuel
āThe dream destinations are Hannibal Bank and Montuosa Island. We've been coming here for many years, and each time we get great shows of huge marlin, yellowfin tuna and amazing snappers.ā
