Scuba diving at the Semaforo sand bank

It looks like a cake that has been placed on the sand, with the peak sitting at 30 metres below the surface and the base that goes down as far as -50 metres.

You will see beautiful, red sea fans, sponges, crawdish and lobsters as well as manyother different species of fish that will swim past.

Due to the currents and the fact that you swim so deep down, this area for scuba diving is considered challenging.
