MUNDO SUBMARINO

Veracruz is a great stop for fine tuning your skills. Anton Lizardo is where the most diving takes place and any of the reef dives in its national marine park hold fantastic potential. The Isla Sacrificios is always popular with divemasters in the area. The marine life at this offshore isle is sure to impress. Furthermore, El Hidalgo and the USS Tacoma wreck are two of five wrecks in the area. Most of these are accessible to advanced divers although a few are located in the shallows, perfect for a divers first wreck experience. Further south from Veracruz city, Punta Gorda will delight intermediate divers. This off-the-beaten path destination is alive with hard and soft coral.

In particular, Anton Lizardo’s marine park holds several reefs that are accessible to non-divers, and the Isla de Sacrificios makes a great day trip for snorkelers and divers alike. You’re sure to see a variety of hard and soft corals teeming with marine life on this offshore isle. It lies only one hour from the city of Veracruz.
