Dive-site story
Bahía Chileno sits along the Los Cabos corridor, offering a calm, sheltered coastal inlet that opens into finger-like reef formations and sandy channels. Granite rock fingers extend seaward from the protected cove, covered in hard stony corals, gorgonians, and sea fans that shelter diverse Eastern Pacific marine life. Because the bay is partially sheltered from heavy ocean swells, it serves as a reliable training ground and a relaxing dive site for observing reef dwellers resting in sandy patches.
Series of rocky reef ridges and sandy chutes harboring resting rays and juvenile fish
Regular encounters with Cortez angelfish, sea turtles, and whitetip reef sharks
Sheltered bay conditions that allow for both shore and boat entries
