Las Animas is unexplored dive site far from La Paz base, so even between dive guides there are many people who have never dived here unless they work for dive cruise.
Same as El Bajo yesterday, the condition is good. Visibility 60ft, water temperature 72ºC.
We enjoyed 4 dives at this hidden place, it is difficult to tell which one was the best, probably second dive with hammerhead and sealions together was the one of the best momoment.
