Best known as the Mexican Riviera, the Pacific
Coast boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Bu t
don't believe there is no diving here. There are a number of excellent
dive centers with the local knowledge to team you up with a great
experience. The best season to dive in Mexico's Pacific coast is between
August to February. From March to July the visibility is reduced from
plankton blooms.
Southern Coast - Acapulco to Salina Cruz
There are many interesting places to dive in this region such as sunken
ships, walls, sea mountains, Roqueta Island (shallow & calm dives
near Acapulco), caves (rock formations) and more. You can find sandy
and rock bottom with small coral formations, sea fans, barnacles,
gorgonians, sea
stars, trumpet fishes, jacks, mackerel, sea horses, eels, sea snakes
and sometimes turtles, whale sharks and mantarrays depending on the
season.
Northern Coast - Mazatlan to Manzanillo
Los Arcos is an underwater park and eco-reserve in the Puerto Vallarta
area that sports some of the best twilight diving along the coast
of Banderas Bay. During the day, the paradise hideaway of Las Caletas
combines scuba diving with the luxury of relaxing on one of Mexico's
most beautiful beaches. Just off the northern coast of Banderas Bay,
the Marietas Island Marine Reserve is one of the most popular areas
in the Mexican Pacific for both experienced and first-time scuba divers.
The blue waters of the Pacific also offer certified divers the opportunity
to dive the caves and tunnels of El Morro, and to explore the arches
and steep walls of Corbeteña.
