Dive-site story
Morros Maguey sits off the entrance to Bahía Maguey in Huatulco, featuring a cluster of rocky volcanic formations that rise from a sandy seabed. Divers navigate around large granite boulders, swim-throughs, and scattered patches of branched hard corals while observing Pacific reef species sheltering in the crevices.
Rugged granite boulder topography with narrow cuts and swim-through channels
Resting whitetip reef sharks and green moray eels tucked beneath rocky overhangs
Schools of Mexican goatfish and grunts hovering over sandy patches between pinnacles
