Dive-site story
Situated along the rocky Pacific coastline of Oaxaca near Huatulco, this site gets its name from a complex network of volcanic rock canyons, narrow passages, and swim-throughs. Massive granitic boulders create a maze-like topography where light filters through crevices onto sandy channels. Divers navigate around rocky pinnacles covered in colonial anemones, sea fans, and localized patches of Pocillopora coral.
Interlocking rock channels and overhead swim-throughs
Sheltered crevices housing resting stingrays and moray eels
Submerged boulders swarmed by schooling Pacific reef fish
