Los Frailes Islands:
In the north/east of the coast from Margarita. With a Transit of about 45min from the fisher village 'El Tirano' (5km from Playa el Agua) we reach this little snorkelling and diving paradise. You’ll find a formation of 9 little islands. 6 of them are really good for scuba diving, beginners or professionals. La Pecha, Payape, La Punta, Cominoto, El Infierno. Some have smaller walls, platforms, canyons or a smaller cave. The water is most of the year in acceptable conditions for having fun in diving. Fauna and flora are typical for the Caribbean Sea. The maximum depths you find are about 25m. The view changes, depending on the season, between 10-30m. The water temperature is scary cold for the Caribbean, 21-24 degrees, wetsuits are commendable. However, you get the compensation right away under water. Beginners in diving and snorkelling also will like it! Shallow water with soft current offers an ideal area for your day dive trip or even for your international dive certification! Like it is the place for fishing of Margarita you can imagine finding a lot of fishes al kind of species!!! Go and get wet, because outside of the water these islands have nothing to give. Good month with good dive-conditions are June-November, bad are January-April!
There are many diveoperators on Margarita Island, but just a fiew to take serious. Don't recomend to take the 'Trip-Salers' of the Boulevards and Beaches, most time more expensive than the diveoperators.
