Dive-site story
Located between the Marietas Islands and El Morro off the coast of Punta Mita, Anegados is a submerged rock bank featuring a rugged seascape of volcanic formations. Divers encounter a maze of underwater caves, swim-throughs, ledges, and steep drop-offs exposed to open-ocean currents. The site serves as an offshore aggregation point for schooling jacks, pelagic predators, and benthic species resting in the crevices.
Extensive underwater rock formations with tunnels, arches, and swim-throughs
Frequent encounters with resting nurse sharks and large rays tucked under rocky ledges
Pelagic activity including schooling jacks, bonito, and passing manta rays during seasonal migrations
