Dive-site story
La Jeringa sits off the rugged Pacific coastline of Huatulco within the marine protected waters of Oaxaca. The site is characterized by volcanic rock structures, narrow crevices, and scattered boulders that create shelter for regional Pacific marine life. Swell from the open ocean can wash across the shallower points of the reef, making buoyancy management around the rocky profile important.
