| Description of dive site: |
Next to the house reef of El Dorado locates Pura Vida dive site.
The entry point is from the shore and
can be reached by foot on the beach.
The steady sand slope
descends to approx. 18 meters where you find the banca
ship wreck.
30 meters to the right
lies the first car wreck in approx. 22 meter depth.
Afterwards
you turn around and continue in opposite direction
for approx. 50 meter where you find the pyramide made of
car tyres at 26 meter depth.
Further to the left at the same

The ascent follows the sandy slope up to the seagrass
area which is perfect for the safety stop at 5 meters.
