Montaña Amarilla (Costa del Silencio)
A coastal dive off the Costa del Silencio below the Montaña Amarilla ('Yellow Mountain') hill: volcanic arches, swim-throughs and lava formations at about 5–18 m, a site for those who like topography over big pelagics. Angel sharks sometimes appear in the winter months. Some mild surge should be expected.
