Mexico

Spearfishing the Yucatán

Warm water, pangas and pelagics. What diving the Yucatán coast of Mexico is like, and what you can expect to see.

Spearfishing the Yucatán
Best monthsMarch to August
SpeciesMahi mahi, Yellowtail, Wahoo, Sailfish

What the diving is like

Small open pangas, long runs offshore, and blue water that starts closer to the beach than you would expect. It is simple and down to earth, and that is exactly the appeal.

What you will see

Mahi around floating structure, wahoo on the edges, and the chance of something much larger passing through on the same dive.
