Boat access and park rules make a local Huatulco guide the practical way to visit.
Morro Tejon is a rocky Huatulco pinnacle reached by boat from the Bahias area. It combines volcanic rock, reef life, and a compact structure-dive feel inside the protected park zone.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
Up to 18m
Depth Note
Nearby Huatulco dive guidance puts coastal sites around an 18 m max profile, but the exact Morro Tejon page is sparse, so confirm the working depth with the guide on the day.
Best Season
Year-round, with November to May usually the more comfortable window.
Typical Conditions
Warm water, moderate visibility, rocky wall structure, and a guided boat approach inside a protected park with wind and current to watch.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Follow park rules, respect coral spacing, and account for wind and current moving boats around the reef. Use a guide if you are not already comfortable with local Pacific boat dives.
Access Restrictions
Access is park-based and boat-led from the Huatulco corridor. Use authorized guides and do not expect a casual walk-in beach entry.
Legal Notes
Huatulco National Park is a protected area with regulated access, entrance fees, and dive rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
This suits certified divers who are comfortable with a boat-run park dive and a modest-visibility Pacific wall rather than a sheltered training cove.
Freediving
Freediving is secondary here and should be left to calm-day local experts.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is better in calmer neighboring bays; the Morro Tejon area is primarily a scuba and boat-dive target.
