but almost everywhere along the coast you will find coral reefs
and rich marine life to give you an unforgettable snorkeling experience.
San Augustin, Chahue and Maguey bays are particularly good.
Scuba

Cacaluta
Bay and La Montosa Reefs, El Tigre and the sunken ship at El Bufadero
are excellent spots for diving.

Sea Fishing
Yellowfin
tuna and big mahi-mahi (dorado, bull-dolphin) season is from the
end of November until March. Then, until the end of May, the fishing
is slower, but still good. You can catch mahi-mahi,wahoo, and smaller
yellowfin tuna.
Sailfish
season starts in June and peaks in July and August. July is also
good for blue marlin that you can catch just about 5 miles from
shore.

the wind and sail the sea on the 44-foot sailboat, Luna Azul. It
will take you to some of the quiet, scenic bays which are not accessible
by car, and you can swim, fish, or just lay out in the sun. Snorkeling
equipment is also available if you want to view some of the beautiful
coral that thrives in the area.
