Makos Mountain
Makos Mountain Dive Site in Soto
Makos Mountain, like San Nicolas, is located next to Santa Martha in the area of Soto. Makos Mountain starts shallow through a field of fleshy soft corals then finally emerging into a wonderful drop off full of hard corals that could hide the famous mako shark that was once spotted here.
Other shark varieties have also been found here such as Hammerheads. You will also see porcupinefish, rays, morays, lobsters and maybe tarpon. Can sometimes be a rough entry but the marine environment more than makes up for this.
Dive Tip: If you find the current too strong or if you do not want to do a drift dive, the nearby dive sites of Hells Corner, Black Coral Garden, and Rediho are all fabulous alternative locations.
