    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Punta Azul Canyons offers a nice drift, perfect for those who enjoy letting the ocean do the work. The site is known for its arches, carved out over time by a steady current pushing down from Mexico. We often see bigger fish patrolling these channels, probably drawn by the same micro-organisms that bring in the eagle rays. If you like a mellow dive with a good chance of seeing some larger pelagics, this is a solid choice.
