About Plataforma MX-1
Plataforma MX-1 is the former offshore steel platform off Los Órganos that became a signature artificial-reef dive. It was a boat-access structure with vertical relief, current-sensitive descents and local guide-line navigation, so trip planning depended on operator support and sea state. Treat it as a former site and verify current access before planning around it.
