With the beautiful Pacific and the
Banderas Bay, you'll not be able to resist trying diving.
Weather you are an experienced diver, novice or this is your first time,
there is a trip suited to you.
Puerto
Vallarta is one of Mexico's top dive destinations, and with Vallarta
Adventures both certified divers and beginners can discover the diverse
abundance of sea life in the warm, clear waters of Banderas Bay and the
Mexican Pacific. Check the map to view dive spots &
dive sites. Beginner
and certified divers can share the day with friends and family who do not

the treasures beneath the sea.
We also offer certified divers Dedicated Dives to some of the most
spectacular and exhilarating dive sites in Banderas Bay and the Mexican
Pacific.
Dive 1.
Las Marietas Islands:
Originally made famous by Jacques Cousteau in the 1970's, the Marietas
Islands Marine Reserve has now become one of the most popular areas in
Western Mexico for scuba diving. Part of an underwater mountain range that
peaks above the ocean's surface, the Marietas Islands mark the entrance to
Banderas Bay from the Pacific.
With Vallarta Adventures beginner and certified divers can share an
exciting day with friends and family who don't dive. On our Sunday thru
Friday trips to the Marietas Islands, non-divers can spend the day sea
kayaking or snorkeling while you enjoy exceptional scuba diving in the
crystal clear waters of the Mexican Pacific -

Surrounded by the blue waters of the Pacific 40 miles from Puerto
Vallarta, this remote island attracts all manner of sea life - and very
few scuba divers. A profusion of manta rays, turtles, sharks and dolphins
are native to these waters, and huge schools of Jack tuna circle this tiny
island in search of food.
Offering certified divers the chance to explore caves, arches and steep
walls, Corbeteņa is a great dive site with moderate currents and depths of
up to 120 feet, with visibility ranging from 60-120 ft. Trips to this
incredible dive site are limited to small groups of experienced divers -

This rock bank lies half way between El Morro and the Marietas Islands
in a relatively sheltered area of the outer limits of Banderas Bay. The
bank starts at around 30 ft below the ocean's surface and is full of caves
and interesting rock formations. The highlight of this dive is the chance
to see nurse sharks which are often sighted here.
Los Anegados is a popular second dive after the deeper descents at El
Morro and, due to the shallower depths here, it is common that you will
see bottom dwellers such as rays and eels. Pelagics such as Tuna and Jacks
are also very common here as well as the famous giant manatas of the
Marietas Islands. This popular scuba tour gives you the chance to enjoy a
one tank dive at both El Morro and Los Anegados for one low price -

This submerged "table top" island lies approximately 1km north of La
Corbeteņa and is a haven for large marine life. Approximately 300 meters
long, this dive location appears like a giant sunken football field at a
depth of between 60ft and 80ft full.
Incredible drop-offs on each side of the table-top make for a unique
diving experience and due to it's location outside of the Bay visibility
is often much better here at El Sequial than at other dive sites closer to
Vallarta. The name Sequial means a "dry area" indicating that it is one of
the few shallow areas close to the Corbeteņa island. Depths in this part
of the bay go as far down as 1.5 miles and so it is an area popularly
frequented by large marine life such as Tuna, Sailfish and sometimes
Shark. Thursdays - 8:30 am Nuevo Vallarta or
9 am Maritime Terminal

One of Mexico's most popular marine reserves, Los Arcos is a cluster of
granite islands that perch out of the water in the southern part of
Banderas Bay. With depths ranging from 30-1600 feet, the waters
surrounding Los Arcos are the deepest in the entire bay, offering
experienced divers the perfect environment for night diving in Vallarta.
With Vallarta Adventures, certified divers can discover the thrill of
night diving in the Devil's Canyon and El Bajo, the fascinating underwater
mountain range, while witnessing the abundant lobster, octopus and other
marine life that can only be seen at night. This is a dive experience
you'll never forget -

one of the few diving havens in the world where you can also dive with sea
lions!
On this unforgettable scuba trip, Vallarta Adventure's sea lions are
released into the ocean, where they rendezvous with the dive boats a few
miles off shore at the marine park of Los Arcos. There, under the
supervision of our professional sea lion handlers, a small group of divers
