Dive-site story
Sheltered by an offshore barrier reef along the Riviera Maya, this shallow coastal bay features extensive seagrass beds that transition toward spur-and-groove coral formations near the outer break. Marine life gathers over the sandy flats to graze, while the outer reef structure harbors Caribbean reef fish and crustacean colonies in coral overhangs and swim-through channels.
