Puerto Escondido

Puerto Escondido is a coastal town in Oaxaca, Mexico, known more for surfing and beaches than for inland diving. While the area offers limited diving opportunities, nearby coastal sites can be accessed from town, and a single local dive center serves as a base for basic, boat-accessed shore dives or snorkeling trips. If you’re strictly chasing world-class dive sites, this location is more of a travel stop with potential for occasional coastal diving outings or PADI/SSI courses at a local center.
