‘Stone Drowned’ is the literal translation of the Spanish name ‘La Piedra Ahogada’ diving spot in Venezuela, near Gran Roque Island. It is a big rock formation, the peak of which is 5m/16ft under water. The various marine fauna and path leading to La Buceadora Cave attract divers. Due to the shallow depth and the absence of currents, this dive spot is suitable for beginner divers, and snorkelers can benefit from it too.
