Tucked away on the quieter side of the Rosario archipelago, Boby’s Place is a hidden reef zone known only to those who ask. It’s not flashy—it’s serene. What makes it special is the clarity of its waters and the stillness that lets you tune into every underwater detail.
With coral gardens lying just 2 to 4 meters below the surface, this area is ideal for snorkeling even for beginners. Expect to see trumpetfish, butterflyfish, sponges, and on lucky days, barracudas cruising the edge of the reef.
Water temperatures stay around 28–29°C, and visibility can reach up to 10 meters on a calm day. The area’s low boat traffic helps maintain this clarity.
Locals often say this is one of the few places where you can hear the reef—shrimp crackles, parrotfish crunching coral, the quiet hum of the sea. It’s a spot for slow travel, for floating without rush.
Flora & fauna: Coral gardens (branching/plate corals), sponges; home to butterflyfish, damselfish, trumpetfish, and juvenile barracudas.
