Punta Restinga is one of the most enjoyable within the La Restinga reserve. Not as deep and certainly not as prone to current makes this site perfect for a second of the day dive. You will commonly see grouper from a modest 30cm size to huge sheep size ones. These are very curious and will come to investigate divers. They seem particularly interested in their reflection in the glass dome of camera housings, coming right in until the bounce back! Other exotic fish more characteristic of the tropics that can be seen here are unicorn fish and porcupine fish, the latter, of course known for blowing up into a ball in defence. Night diving is possible from the harbour, best done from the last set of steps on the pier.
