Pargos

Pargos might not get the same hype as Palancar, but we think it’s a seriously underrated drift. It’s shallower, maxing out around 16 metres, which means more bottom time to really soak it all in. We love the way the white sand channels weave through the coral, almost like little highways for the reef fish. You'll glide past dense formations of gorgonians and sea fans, with huge stands of staghorn coral providing shelter for schools of French grunts – sometimes so many you can hear their little rumbling noises. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff here too; we’ve spotted tiny dwarf wrasse darting between polyps and even the odd yellow stingray tucked into the sand. The currents are usually a gentle push, making it a super relaxed drift for divers who appreciate a slow pace and love spotting macro life as much as the bigger fish. It’s a photographer’s dream when the light hits those sandy patches just right.
