About this dive site

This dive site, North Point, is situated at the northernmost tip of San Pedro in Mexico, offering diverse diving experiences for all skill levels. Its strategic location exposes it to occasional currents, attracting exciting pelagic species. While no specific history is provided, its topography at a point suggests interesting underwater navigation along reef slopes or rock formations.

Divers can expect to encounter schools of California angelfish and frequently observe sea lions, adding a dynamic element to the dive. Large groupers are also common, while seasonal visitors include yellowtail in the spring, trevally, and tuna passing by. A notable feature is a field of black corals found at deeper sections of the site.
