Well the diving certainly makes you for the shit island. The coral is huge and very beautiful. There is quit an abundance of fish as a small area is marine protected, whatever that means. I don't get why they think protecting such a small area from fishing will spare the much larger area, i mean ecosystems are connected right. Animals aren't aware of where they can go and where they can't right? So if a turtle or fish steps outside of that area the it can be killed?!
Well anyway there seemed to be healthier coral and more turtles say than in The Corn Islands, which is not protected. One Turtle approached me and hit my camera with its head seemingly unbothered! Another let me sit by our and watch it eat. I have never been that close to a turtle before.
What made this place super fun to dive in as well were the strong currents. You just floated and they pulled you along like you were flying, shooting past huge coral walls that drop off to 300m. These currents are also what make this area great due diving, giving it great visibility, and cleaning the ocean perhaps helping to maintain healthy coral.
