Pescador Island – Walls
The island is a marine-protected rock rising from deep water (about 300 m around it), with steep walls from a shallow plateau down past 40 m, hard-coral cover and turtles on the ledges. A PADI listing gives 7–20 m for typical dives. Typically a drift dive, because Pescador has the strongest current in the area.
