Dive-site story
Situated at the rocky western headland of Bahía Chachacual within Huatulco National Park, this dive site features granite boulders and volcanic ledges stepping down into a sandy seabed. Accessible only by boat, the point catches moderate oceanic swell that draws schooling pelagics and rays along the reef margin. Diver exploration focuses on the crevices and undercut rocks where macro life and resting nocturnal species congregate away from the surge.
Massive granite rock piles that shelter morays, octopus, and resting sea turtles
Frequent encounters with spotted eagle rays gliding past the outer reef edge
Dense aggregations of barberfish tending cleaning stations along the boulder slopes
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Dry winter and spring months bring reduced rainfall and the highest likelihood of seeing migrating rays and cetaceans.
