Summertime Scuba Diving

During the summer months the visibility underwater is between 100 and 130 feet and the water temperature is in the mid eighties. Dive trips are usually not crowed during the summer months and as an added bonus, you'll enjoy low airfare and stellar prices on accommodations. Why wouldn't you come to Vallarta and scuba dive this summer?

If you have always wanted to try scuba diving, your Vallarta vacation is the perfect opportunity to do it. You can take a "Discover Scuba Diving" course with a certified dive professional in a nearby pool and go diving the vary next day.

Now you are ready to go diving, but where? The bay is home to three popular dive sites, Los Arcos, Majahuitas and Islas Marietas. El Morro is a spectacular option for advanced divers. Each one offers a unique experience. Smaller dive shops will customize tours to meet the desires of the divers. If you can't choose between the dive sites dive them all!

Summer is the perfect time to experience scuba diving in Puerto Vallarta. The warm clear water makes this the best time of year to appreciate the fascinating underwater world of the Bay of Banderas, home year round to an endless number of brilliantly colored tropical fish, rays, eels and dolphins. During certain other times of the year the bay is visited by sea turtles, Giant Manta Rays and whales.

The Bay of Banderas is the largest bay in Mexico and the second largest bay in North America. It is also one of the deepest bays in the world, with depths reaching up to 10,000 feet.
