San Miguel is a muck dive with plenty to find. Macro fans can spend the whole dive searching the sand for tiny critters, and a sunken coconut trunk is worth a close look too.

Expect many different nudibranchs, including the tiny Costasiella sea slug, better known as “Shaun the Sheep”, as well as several kinds of frogfish: hairy, painted and warty.

  • “Shaun the Sheep” sea slugs (Costasiella)
