About Pargos
Pargos is a Puerto Morelos reef dive built around white-sand corridors between coral formations. The site feels more like a scenic reef maze than a drop-off, with gorgonians, sea fans, stony corals, and grunts working the coral edges. It is normally run as a boat dive inside the Puerto Morelos reef system, so the main planning factors are reef-park logistics and ordinary Caribbean conditions rather than overhead exposure. The fit is easy-going scuba in a protected reef area.
