This dive site, known as Sea Mount, is a fantastic underwater mountain located just outside Marina San Carlos, Mexico. The top of the mount lies at a comfortable 6 meters (20 feet) below the surface, making it accessible to various diver levels. Its sides range from steep to less steep, gradually leveling off at depths between 27 to 30 meters (90-100 feet), offering an interesting topography for exploration.
The marine life here is abundant and diverse, featuring large schools of fish such as Mexican angelfishes, barracudas, and trevallies. For macro enthusiasts, the site is home to various nudibranchs, especially prominent during the winter months. Scorpionfish and moray eels can also be spotted amongst the rocky formations and crevices, adding to the rich biodiversity.
The best time to visit Sea Mount is during the winter for those keen on finding nudibranchs. Its accessible shallow top makes it ideal for snorkelers and beginner divers, while the deeper slopes cater to more experienced divers and freedivers seeking greater depths. The site offers opportunities for both wide-angle shots of schooling fish and macro photography of smaller creatures.
