Santiago Atitlán

Santiago Atitlán is a highland town near Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. It is not a coastal diving destination, but the region offers freshwater diving options around the lake and in nearby quarries or cenotes for trained divers. In practice, most diving activity associated with the area comes from a handful of local centers that run courses and boat trips on freshwater sites in the wider highland area. Travelers typically focus on the lake’s scenery, Mayan culture, and hiking, with diving limited to nearby freshwater venues rather than a traditional coastal dive scene.
