Practical
Approximate: set at the OpenStreetMap centroid of Bahía El Potosí; the rocks themselves are not mapped, so get the exact spot from the dive shop before diving them from your own boat. Dive Zihua rates it three stars (for experienced divers) and quotes a 99% chance of turtles. Dive Zihua prices (US$, 2026 rate page): 2 dives at the Morros US$138 (minimum 3 people), 3-dive Morros experience US$188 (minimum 2). Carlo Scuba also runs it. Open water with swell and current: dive it from a shop boat unless you know the site. For the nearby village, lagoon and beach restaurants see 'Barra de Potosí Anchorage (Punta Potosí)'.
