Dive-site story
Located off the rugged coastline of Huatulco in Oaxaca, Tejón features massive volcanic rock formations and boulder fields descending toward a sandy sea floor. Rocky crevices shelter morays and octopuses, while large schools of grunts and surgeonfish hover above the granite slabs. Divers frequently encounter Pacific stingrays foraging along the sand channels and eagle rays gliding through open water.
Rugged granite boulder structures with narrow swim-throughs and crevices
Frequent encounters with spotted eagle rays and resting stingrays in the sand
Dense aggregations of Cortez surgeonfish, snappers, and king angelfish
