LOS ARCOS UNDERWATER NATIONAL PARK
Granite rock formations of rocks and caves have been sculpted by the force of the ocean over thousands of years and this Underwater National Park has been rightfully named Los Arcos (The Arches). From the main arch, where depths range from 25 to 60 feet, a shelf takes you to the edge of Devils Canyon. Dropping an awesome 1800 feet, this wall marks the beginning of the continental platform. This is a magical dive and it is here that divers can experience the feeling of the "abyss".
MAJAHUITAS BEACH PARADISE
Located on the south side of the bay only reachable by boat is the beautiful Majahuita Beach. This dive site is the home to a unique colony of Garden Eels and Black Coral. Divers are able to disembark to spend their surface interval and lunch on the beach.
MARIETAS ISLANDS
National Park. These magical islands are 22 nautical miles from Puerto Vallarta to the north side of the bay. Several species of Sea Birds make the Marietas Islands their home. The endangered Blue Footed Boobie birds thrive on these islands, besides here, they are only found in the Sea of Cortez and Galapagos Islands. This is an exciting dive as there are many lava tubes and cave formations to dive thru. Between dives, the divers are able to visit Playa del Amor (Beach of Love) which is only accessible by swimming thru a cave and observe the natural habitat of the Sea Birds. The boat ride to the islands affords us the opportunity to see Dolphins, Giant Manta Rays, and Turtles. In the months of December through May the Banderas Bay is home to the magnificent Humpback Whales.
CHIMO
Chimo is a small fishing village located along the southernmost coast of the bay. During the winter months, this dive site becomes populated with Giant Manta Rays. In addition to the abundant marine life, Chimo has something very special to offer. It is here that the ocean floor twisted and turned to create the most interesting underwater terrain. Torrencillas is an underwater plateau about a quarter-mile in diameter, from which a series of separate pinnacles rise up like fingers stretching to the surface to greet the light.
THIS IS AN AMAZING PLACE!
EL MORRO
El Morro is a rock pinnacle extending above the surface. It is located just beyond the protected waters of the bay 35 miles to the north. We reserve this dive site for experienced divers only. El Morro has a lot to offer, Giant
Mantas, schools of Jacks, Soft Coral, and bigger fish. There is a series of underwater pinnacles and caves. Divers can explore a cave that goes thru a pinnacle entering at 90 feet and exiting at 60 feet.
NIGHT DIVE
The "Shallow of Christ" is an underwater rock located near Los Arcos. This unique reef dive will reveal the large abundance of Lobster, Octopus, and other marine life seen only at night. Night divers are equipped with halogen lights and wetsuits. Beverages included.
