The marine space is a separate world, very different from what we can see on the mainland. In some parts of the world, the bottom of the ocean is not accessible to humans or it is only for those who are highly trained. Fortunately, the Bay of Banderas, where Puerto Vallarta and part of the Riviera Nayarit are located, is an exceptional site for those who like to admire the beauties beneath the surface.
Diving in the Bay of Banderas is one of the activities that can surprise even the most skeptical. So much so, that the historic French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau was amazed during his explorations inside the bay. And these marine wonders are now within reach of us.
A site that should be on your diving list in the region is undoubtedly The Marietas islands, a formation of volcanic origin in which one of the areas of greatest marine biodiversity in the bay is located; colorful fish and countless reefs await you.
Outside the bay, although within a short distance is El Morro, another of the favorite sites for diving. There you will have the opportunity to dive into caverns and tunnels, as well as observe a great marine diversity that includes turtles, dolphins, sea horses, stingrays and colored fish, among many other species.
The Mismaloya Arches are another mandatory site. Another capricious geological formation that is home to multiple species of birds and marine fauna. In addition, it has the deepest waters of the entire bay; in this site, the depth goes from 6 to 490 meters.
There are other equally interesting options within the bay, such as Las Caletas, Chimo or diving with dolphins. CONTACT US and enjoy this incredible activity. A world of underwater wonders awaits you. Discover it!
