El Natural
Shore dive · Rocky reef & ledges
Our other home reef, a short swim from Crash Boat — a shallow rocky reef with ledges, boulders and small overhangs, and the same reliable cast of tropical fish, morays and the occasional nurse shark.
About this site
El Natural sits right next to Crash Boat and is one of the sites we dive most often. It is a shallow rocky reef of ledges, boulders and small overhangs, with sandy patches between the rock where you will often find stingrays and the odd nurse shark resting. Because it is shallow, sheltered and easy to navigate, it works for training dives, relaxed guided dives and night dives alike, and the coral-encrusted rock is packed with morays, octopus and reef fish. Between Crash Boat and El Natural we have a full day of diving within a short swim of the beach.
