To the west of the capital, the island platform is made up of a great diversity of flora and fauna and impressive coral formations, whose beautiful walls and small caves serve as a refuge for fish and mollusks. The seabed of the coastline, in front of the city, descends in stages towards the underwater abyss. The best places to dive are between 5 and 35 meters deep and show gorgonian gardens, sponge meadows, different species of coral and wrecks of sunken ships that have become the habitat of a great marine biodiversity.
