More commonly referred to as “Turning Point”, Virador is a kick cycle away from Monkey Head and are often paired together as dive sites. This site starts off with a depth of approximately 8m/25ft then follows a circular boulder field formation that extends to the surface to a maximum depth of 21m/70ft along the back side. Expect to see lots of moray eels of several species sticking their heads out to say, “Hola” as you drift by. Barberfish and King Angel Fish also like to tag along for the ride and will often follow divers for a better part of the dive. Spotted Eagle Rays also tend to cruise by at this site, so don’t forget to look away from the rocks every once and awhile! The masters of camouflage, Scorpion fish, are also a common critter to see, if you can spot them…
Usually there is so much to see that we don’t make it all the way around the rock so when air is running low, we will swim away from the rock and your divemaster will send up an SMB and a lone eagle ray or a school of Latin Grunts might bid you farewell!
