Many choose this island as an idea spot for diving as it offers many spectacular underwater views of marine life.
Cavernous Mona Island rises from 22,000 feet underwater to a flat plateau above 200-ft. cliffs. The underwater terrain is spectacular with its arches, crevices, and tunnels. Above ground is just as amazing. The dry cacti terrain is highlighted by a few white-sand beaches where large iguanas roam freely as red-footed boobies and white-tailed tropic birds soar above them.
