It's right off the beach at Punta de Tralca. It's cool green water typical of upwelling zones, so make sure to have a 6.5mm or thicker suit. Water temps in spring/summer rarely exceed 17C with 12-15 C being the norm. It's a very popular spot here with the spearfishers, so make sure not to look like a fish.

Locally know as "lenguado", I spotted this cooperative sole in Punta de Tralca the other day. Shot with a Coolpix P4 in a Fantasea housing and a Sea & Sea YS60. Post processing included levels and some healing in the background
