Raziščite Huatulco
Huatulco je turistična destinacija v južni zvezni državi Oaxaca na južni obali Mehike, obrnjena proti Tihemu oceanu. Huatulco se je nekoč imenoval Bahías De Huatulco, ker ga sestavlja vrsta devetih manjših zalivov (in 36 plaž!). Pet od teh devetih zalivov je od leta 1998 zaščitenih kot del nacionalnega parka Huatulco. V teh zalivih je več kot trideset potapljaških lokacij, kjer živi raznolika morska flora in favna.

Najboljši meseci za potapljanje v Huatulcu
Najboljši čas v letu za obisk Huatulca in potapljanje na njegovih lokacijah je od novembra do maja. Takrat so oceanske razmere najmirnejše, potapljači pa lahko opazijo tudi pelagične vrste, kot so kitovci, grbasti kiti in orjaške mante! Te pelagične vrste privlači cvetenje planktona, ki poteka v hladnih, s hranili bogatih vodah in žal znatno zmanjša vidljivost. Pri 27 °C so te »hladne« vode pozimi še vedno relativno tople.
