About this Dive Site
Description
Buoy 23 offers a captivating wall dive where abundant gorgonian corals sway in the currents. While known for its beautiful soft corals, sightings of larger pelagic life like sharks and rays are less common here than at other Portobelo sites, with typical depths being more moderate.
