La China Nómada

This site is born from the millenial growth of the coral reef, giving birth to taller walls and a wide and a narrow canyon where a shark sometimes comes to rest. Following the walls while hunting lionfish will lead you to two islands surrounded by big specimens of barrel sponges.

Marine life at this site

Lionfish and a shark come here to hide from the divers so prepare for ceviche. Queen triggerfish are common there and big barrel sponges make for a majestic landscape.
