CHARACTER
A surprising sandy slope with an artificial reef and strong night-diving potential.
San Miguel combines a gentle sandy slope with hidden corners and a small artificial reef of truck tyres covered in soft and hard corals. Frogfish, squid, nudibranchs, harlequin shrimp and ghost pipefish may be found here. At night the site becomes particularly lively and attractive for macro photographers.
CAMERA & APPROACH
Cover less ground.
Make better images.
Search the slope and openings around the tyres slowly. Never touch the tyres or their coral growth.
