Cueva del Tiburon (Cano Island)

Shark Cave keeps Cano Island's promise at a gentler register than Bajo del Diablo. The name comes from a broad recess in the granite where whitetip reef sharks pile in to rest through the day - divers kneel on the sand at a respectful distance and watch a shelf of sharks breathe, stack, and occasionally reshuffle like badly filed books. Around the ledges, the reserve's protected biomass fills in the rest: parrotfish, big porcupinefish, morays, turtles on the rock line, and eagle rays gliding the perimeter. Shallow depths, mild current, and reliable clarity make it the reserve's best introduction dive, and a favorite second tank after the pinnacles.
