Why dive here
With 503+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and humpback whales - Muelle de Azúcar offers some of Rincon & West Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Muelle de Azúcar, or "Sugar Pier," is one of those easygoing sites we often recommend for divers getting comfortable in the Rincon area. Dropping down to about 19 meters, it’s a straightforward dive. You’ll find healthy hard corals like brain and star corals here, with plenty of small reef fish weaving through them. Keep an eye out for southern stingrays resting in the sand and the occasional green moray tucked into crevices. It's a nice, relaxed spot, especially good for newer divers or when you just want a calm afternoon under the waves.
