A great dive, best accessible by boat from Las Galletas. Drop down the anchor line to 5m shelf then go over the edge descending to a sandy bottom. There is one arch to go through. Last time I was down there spotted a fire worm and a spider shrimp along with the regular assorted sea life.

I dived Yellow Mountain as dive 2 & 3 on my open water course and loved it. Saw octopus, cuttlefish, garden eels etc and ended the dive with a lovely swim through archway. A long swim on the surface back to shore though, but the whole dive reinforced my love of diving!!!!

This is more of a collection of dive sites. Have dived it 3 times and snorkelled it twice. Actually suprisingly good for snorkelling with some awesome undersea rock formations near Yellow Mountain. Cuttlefish, barracuda, octopus, atlantic damselfish, garden eels, trumpetfish, arrow crab, stingrays etc etc. Can duck dive and collect lots of sea mice, urchins and shells when snorkelling near the shore. PS Jon, that’s an Arrow crab, not a Spider shrimp.
