Cerro El Mono is a shallow freshwater site in Bolivia, offering depths between 2 and 6 metres. This location is suitable for both divers and snorkellers, particularly those at a beginner skill level, as there is no current to manage. Visibility at the site ranges from 10 to 30 metres, allowing for clear views of the underwater topography. Access to the site is by boat. While the site data indicates water temperatures between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius, local hazard notes suggest potential for much colder conditions, so appropriate thermal protection is recommended.

Ilopango is a volcanic crater lake in El Salvador featuring walls, drop-offs, and artificial reef structures. Divers can explore depths ranging from 10 to 30 metres, with an average depth of 25 metres. The site presents challenging conditions, including low visibility between 1 and 6 metres and a distinct thermocline at 12 to 15 metres. Due to these factors, advanced certification is required. Both shore and boat entries are available, and guided tours are recommended to navigate the topography effectively. The habitat supports temperate freshwater fish, including catfish and livebearers. Divers should maintain precise buoyancy control and monitor their depth closely throughout the dive.
