Dive-site story
Positioned off the rugged coastline of Bahías de Huatulco National Park, El Tigre is a sub-surface rocky formation swept by open Pacific currents. Volcanic boulders, crevices, and ledges dominate the seafloor, providing shelter for diverse coastal marine life. Ocean swells often wash across the shallower pinnacles, making buoyancy control essential while navigating between the granite blocks.
Large granite boulder formations hosting dense clusters of cup corals and sponges
Frequent aggregations of pelagic jacks and grunts schooling in open water
Crevices sheltering resting green morays and Pacific spiny lobsters
