Bahías de Huatulco Scuba Diving Travel Tips

By Gary Chandler

  • Explore more than 100 named dive sites spread across nine bays and countless nooks, points, and rocky islands.
  • Observe the area's abundant marine life, including sea turtles, rays, dolphins—even migrating humpback whales (December through January and March).
  • Visit from October to December or March to May for the best weather, warm water, and small crowds.
  • Bear in mind that visibility ranges from 10 to 100 feet depending on plankton, currents, and other conditions.
