Medregal point

Medregal Point offers beginner divers a gentle dive along a rocky point near Bahía Maguey in Huatulco, where the warm Pacific waters of the Oaxacan coast host diverse Eastern Pacific marine species in sheltered conditions. Named for the amberjack (medregal) that visit these waters, this accessible site combines comfortable diving with the marine diversity that characterizes Huatulco's healthy bay environments. The rocky point extends into the Pacific, its volcanic surface descending into the bay to create an underwater landscape of boulders, ledges, and sandy patches. The protected side of the point provides the calm conditions suitable for new divers, while the structure's complexity creates diverse habitats that support a rich marine community. The warm water temperatures ensure comfort throughout the dive. The marine life at Medregal Point includes the typical Eastern Pacific tropical species that make Huatulco diving distinctive. Schools of fish patrol the rocky formations, while king angelfish and Moorish idols add their striking colors. The namesake amberjack (medregal) occasionally cruise past the point, their sleek silver bodies creating excitement when they appear in the peripheral vision. Damselfish defend their territories with characteristic energy. The rocky substrate supports healthy growth of gorgonians, sponges, and encrusting organisms. The invertebrate community is well represented, with sea stars, octopuses, and moray eels inhabiting the various niches created by the volcanic formations. Sandy areas between rocks host stingrays and the burrowing species that add diversity beyond the rocky reef community. The point's gentle slope allows comfortable depth management, and the sheltered conditions create the relaxed atmosphere that allows full appreciation of the marine encounters. For new divers, Medregal Point provides exactly the kind of positive underwater experience that builds confidence and inspires continued exploration. Medregal Point delivers accessible Huatulco diving where warm water, gentle conditions, and diverse Pacific marine life combine to create a welcoming introduction to the underwater world.
