Los Gemelos (two wrecks)
Two small boats scuttled deliberately as a dive site lie on a flat sand bottom at about 20 m, only five minutes from Puerto Colón. They are around 20 m long, face west, and one lies on its side. A giant school of grunts and bogues sits over them, stingrays often rest underneath, and there is no other rock or reference around – good for wreck beginners.
