Las Brisas Jetty is a shallow harbor-entrance dive in Manzanillo with colorful coral formations, a sandy-rocky bottom, and calm-water days that make it friendly for newer divers. It is also a useful night-dive option, with small reef fish and coral growth close to the breakwater when the sea stays settled. The site is best enjoyed when swell stays low and harbor conditions are quiet.
