Pared Verde Reef
30m maximum depth
Moderate current with good visibility.
This deep reef practically follows on from Moche Deep Reef and shares many of its traits. This dive combines a magic carpet drift by a beautiful wall with large patrolling fish and the chance to see large stingrays and the occasional bull shark.
