San agapito boasts of a submerged mountain with a pinnacle that drops off to 100 m or 530 ft, it is home to sergeant majors, damsels, anthias, eels, nudibranchs, surgeon fishes, fusiliers, tunas, batfishes and jacks.
There's so much life down there. When divers speak of verde island, they think of san agapito with its giant gorgonian fans and gardens of corals.
On the sea surface of five underwater canyons, one can see whirlpools caused by the changing currents. The canyons have been formed by the water movements that spin divers in a roller-coaster ride. The bigger and wilder the currents, the more species of pelagics, trevallies, parrot fishes, frogfishes, tube worms, sea squirts and reef sharks there are to see.
