Dive-site story
Located off the rocky headland near Huatulco's eastern bays, Punta Tejon features a seascape of submerged granite boulders, volcanic ledges, and scattered patches of branched hard coral. Ocean swells from the open Pacific sweep over the formations, attracting schooling fish and passing pelagics. Divers navigate through rocky corridors and channels where crevices shelter daytime predators and invertebrates.
Rugged granite boulder topography sculpted by open-ocean Pacific swell
Rocky swim-throughs and overhangs packed with resting nocturnal fish
Frequent encounters with ray species gliding over adjacent sand flats
