Boat-only bay reef with turtles, rays, and garden eels.
Majahuitas is a remote south-bay dive site reached by boat and usually dived along the sheltered side of a forested point and beach. Underwater, the site mixes rocky reef, boulders, sandy patches, and deeper wall sections, so operators can shape easier routes close to the protected side or longer passes for divers who want a more exposed profile. Divers and snorkelers come here for a relaxed bay setting, schooling reef fish, rays, turtles, eels, and small macro life, with conditions that are often clearest in the warmer part of the year.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
8m - 33m
Depth Note
Public operator pages describe shallow reef starts around 8 m and deeper wall or drop-off sections reaching roughly 30 to 33 m.
Best Season
Generally diveable year-round, with clearer water commonly reported from late spring through early winter.
Typical Conditions
Expect a sheltered bay-side reef and wall with warmer water for much of the year, mild current on many days, and visibility that can change noticeably with season, swell, and runoff.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Boat diving only. The protected side is commonly used for easier routes, but depth, variable visibility, and more exposed sections outside the lee are the main planning risks, so follow local guide routing and site selection.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; this is typically visited by guided dive or snorkel trips, and operators may switch sites when weather or sea state makes the run unsuitable.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Common boat-diving routes follow the protected reef first, then extend onto deeper wall sections when conditions allow. It works well for mixed-experience boats because guides can keep newer divers on calmer terrain while experienced divers take longer profiles.
Snorkeling
Majahuitas is also a common snorkel stop thanks to its protected shallows, fish life, and usually calmer surface conditions on the lee side of the bay.
