About this dive site
Flagship Oaxaca Pacific reef in Huatulco National Park.
La Montosa and neighbouring Huatulco park sites offer rocky Pacific reef with good fish diversity and fewer divers than Cancún. Boats run from Santa Cruz or La Crucecita when swell allows. Combine with a land trip through Oaxaca for a non-Caribbean Mexico itinerary.
Huatulco sites close when swell runs; build flex days into an Oaxaca coast trip.
