About La Muela
La Muela is a sandy-bottom boat dive on the north end of Angel de la Guarda that stands out as a relaxed macro site with jawfish, reef fish, and fish-id friendly structure. The dive is shallow enough to feel easy on most days, but the best value is in slow, careful searching over sand patches and low coral structure where small subjects hold position. It is a good fit for photographers, training dives, and anyone who wants an unhurried look at the northern Sea of Cortez life list without committing to a more exposed or technical profile.
