Dive Site - Ancla del Pirata - Pirate Anchor

Depth range: 30-50 feet (10 to 15m)

Probably the most ideal dive site for beginners at Maria La Gorda, its name is derived from the giant two ton eighteen-century anchor protruding from the seabed. The anchor sits against coral promontories and is covered with crustaceans and petrified coral. Sponges and gorgonians are a common sight at the Pirate Anchor and you are likely to see snappers, bass, wrasse, jacks, angel and squirrelfish.
