About this dive site

This dive site, Punta Perico, offers an exciting wall and canyon dive experience in Mexico. Divers typically navigate this site as a drift dive, keeping the impressive wall and rocky formations on one side as they explore. The dive transitions to a sand bottom, providing a diverse underwater landscape. There is no specific historical information or story provided for the site.

The site boasts abundant marine life, most notably large schools of jack and the majestic mobula rays. Divers can also frequently encounter eels and turtles. While coral formations are noted as poor, the vibrant rocky structures and marine inhabitants create a rich ecosystem.

The best time to visit Punta Perico for mobulas is often during the warmer months, though specific seasonal timings should be checked with local dive operators for optimal encounters. Its shallow maximum depth and abundant big marine life make it highly suitable for both freedivers and scuba divers looking for an engaging drift dive with big animal encounters. Pay attention to current conditions.
