Zipolite - Puerto Angel

I´m planning a trip to Puerto Escondido in mid july. My main
purpose is surf, dive and snorkeling and i wonder if anyone
have been there recently, after Carlotta. I´ve searched the
 net but could´t find any recent updates.

Unsure where you are headed... Zipol, Puerto Angel, PE
or all 3. Plenty of surfing to be had, especially in PE. The
Oaxaca coast generally isn't considered a snorkeling or
diving destination. I've spent a lot of time here and
done very little snorkeling.

Carlotta caused significant damage, but it's mostly
cleaned up. Rebuilding continues, especially in
Zipol andMazunte, but that won't affect your plans.
You'll be fine in mid-July. There have been a
couple recent threads about Carlotta damage,
which you will find when you search.

I was in Zipolite before, during and after Carlota,
 I would say you will be fine, Zipolite and Mazunte
had some water and electricity problems those
 few days, but within 3 or 4 days all was ok, I
couldn't go diving those days because the port
authority closed all boat activity during the aftermath
of the storm, but all is fine now, as for diving I
met the folks of "azul profundo" they have the
 boats and the guides and take you to a few
places near Zipolite, like Estacahuite.

drMingo, how is the diving around Pto Angel?
 I've never tried it. Is there much to see?
