All about Corona del Diablo dive site
Corona del Diablo is the exposed rim of a volcanic crater, a broken ring of rock that funnels water—and marine life—through its gaps. The dive tends to feel compact and busy, with action concentrated along the edges and in the flow-through channels
What to see
The site is frequently described with dense reef-fish activity, plus whitetip reef sharks and larger sharks such as galápagos sharks passing through. It’s also often framed as a place for endemic coral formations and cleaning-station behaviour, which can draw in larger animals when the timing lines up
When To Go Diving
Site notes commonly list 20–26°C in January–May and cooler 16–20°C conditions in June–December. Visibility is often described around 5–20 m here, reflecting how conditions can shift quickly. For warmer water and gentler seas overall, December to May is usually preferred; the June to November season is cooler and more nutrient-driven
