Q:CAN I DIVE FROM
THE BEACH? A: Due to the nice, sandy beaches of Nuevo
Vallarta, you'll have to take a boat to reach any good scuba diving spots.
Q:I'M ONLY DIVING ONE DAY - WHICH SITE
SHOULD I CHOOSE? A: Tough one - depends on your abilities
and timeframe. For the average diver, we recommend the Marietas Islands.
There are dives for all skill levels, and a huge variety of marine life.
If you're short on time, Los Arcos is the closest to shore. If you're
an experienced diver looking for pelagics, we recommend El Morro. For
lunch on a beach and relaxing in the sun, Majahuitas is a good choice.
Q:ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW? A: On rare occasions, it may be
necessary for your divemaster to switch dive sites due to issues with
visibility or water conditions. All dive shops in Puerto Vallarta
reserve this right. It is your dive team's first responsibility to
ensure your safety and well being, and they take this responsibility
very seriously. We thank you for your understanding.
