Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Puerto Chiquito
Puerto Chiquito is a small, quiet entry point, with protected shallows for the kids, and an impressive drop off for the diver.
A 100m South of the Southern 1A 4A intersection, turn West for 300m. Then turn left for 1km passing over the Spanish Lagoon. Turn right and wind your way for about 1.5 km. The entrance looks like a small dirt driveway.

This was the site where my wife and I did our 2nd & 3rd open water training dives. No crowds! In fact, we were the only ones there. After finning out a ways there were a couple of crushed coral spots on the bottom at about 20' that the dive operators use as a training site. We saw damsels, butterfly fish, and several stoplight parrotfish there. A little further out and down the slope at 60' we were shadowed by a curious barracuda. We found a good sized green moray hiding in his hole in the coral and were even checked out by a passing spotted eagle ray. This was a very enjoyable site and I would not mind going back to it at some point to explore it further.
