26 miles south of Puerto Vallarta, on the far
end of Banderas Bay, lies the tiny fishing village of Chimo.
Here you can find some of the most unique dives that Nuevo Vallarta
has to offer. Here the ocean floor has formed itself into
to distinct and interesting formations: Torrecillasis an
undersea plateau about a quarter-mile in diameter.
From
this mesa-like base, a series of separate pinnacles rise like trees
striving upward to gain the light. Las Iglesias (the churches),
is a line of columns that rises straight from the bed of the ocean,
like the supports of some ancient sunken cathedral. Chimo has tremendous
variety of sea life, mainly tropical species, and the best encounters
with Mantas in the Nuevo Vallarta area, particularly in the winter
months.
