About Faro de Bucerias
Faro de Bucerias is a quiet Pacific coastal dive area in Michoacan where a beach setting, a sunken ship just offshore, and subtropical marine life make the site appealing for both divers and snorkelers. The shoreline feel is relaxed, while the offshore part of the site adds a more demanding wreck-and-current dive once you leave the beach and work deeper water around the ship and surrounding reef. It is a good fit for visitors who want a scenic coastal day rather than a purely technical open-ocean dive.
