All About the Cancun Cenotes 

Millions of years ago, much of the Yucatan Peninsula was covered by ocean water. As ocean levels decreased through the Ice Age to the modern-day, the water receded to leave behind the peninsula we know today. This great movement of water led to massive erosion and the creation of cave systems and sinkholes connected to the sea.

If you know where to look, you can find bodies of seawater hidden within the land of the Yucatan Peninsula just outside of Cancun. These are the Cancun cenotes. Many of these amazing underground water sources feature truly breathtaking cave formations.

Others harbor a rich variety of marine life. By taking our Cenotes &amp; Snorkeling Tour here at Cancun Adventures, you'll get to experience these natural wonders firsthand.

About Yal Ku and the Cenotes of Tulum

Thousands of years ago, ocean levels began to drop to where they are today. The movement of water over centuries created holes and gaps in the landscape, some of which were close enough to oceans to retain water.

These connected yet mostly landlocked bodies of water are known as cenotes. The greater Cancun region is home to a number of popular cenotes famous for their natural beauty, incredible geologic formations (including easy-to-explore underwater caves), and abundant marine life. 

Yal Ku Lagoon, one of the largest lagoons in the region in terms of surface area, is home to a wide range of wildlife and provides safe snorkeling in Akumal for swimmers of all ages.

Tulum &amp; Coba Private Tour

Immerse yourself into Mayan culture with a Private Cancun Underground River Tour!

Our private Tulum and Cenote tour gives you the chance to immerse yourself in two of the Riviera Maya’s top destinations: the archaeologically significant Tulum ruins and the area’s famous cenotes. Our guides will take you deep into the heart of the Cancun jungle, where the ancient and fascinating world of the pre-Columbian, Mayan culture comes alive in stunning ruins standing guard over the blue waters of the Caribbean. After you stroll through history, you’ll swim in the crystal water of the Mayan underground cenotes in a private half-day tour that packs a lot in and is sure to leave you breathless.

Travel Back to the 13th Century in Tulum

The vibrant history and culture of the Mayan civilization come alive as you stroll around and through some of the most well-preserved and majestic ruins in Mexico. Your knowledgeable, bilingual guides will open your eyes to the past as they share not only facts about the Mesoamerican civilization that once occupied these lands, but also colorful stories of what life in the past was really like.

Tulum was a city with a purpose - a thriving seaport that traded in jade and turquoise - but it is also shrouded in mystery. It was the only Mayan city built on the coast and important enough to be one of the few protected by a wall, yet we don’t know how long it was inhabited. Many of its buildings were built so that their orientation coincided with the movements of the stars, though it’s not clear why this is the case.

Perhaps spending time investigating Tulum’s mighty limestone seawall that has stood for nearly a thousand years or the Castillo perched on the edge of a 12-meter cliff will inspire you to hypothesize about why the inhabitants needed such protection. Or perhaps you’ll just bask in the beauty of the murals in the Temple of the Frescoes. After all, these questions and others have remained unanswered despite an in-depth study by archeologists.

Explore Tulum’s Underground Rivers

After you immerse yourself in the rich Mayan history at Tulum, we’ll take you and your group to explore some of Mexico's most beautiful and expansive underground caves. Cenotes are pristine underground rivers and pools formed millions of years ago when the waters receded from the Yucatan Peninsula. What was left behind was a network of fascinating cave formations, including impressive stalactites and stalagmites, and other intricate and ancient rock formations.

Your Private Cancun Underground River tour guide will take you into these cave formations with all safety gear to walk through tunnels and into caverns that will be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. And once you’ve seen all there is to see in the cenotes, you mull over all the wonders you have witnessed in just one day.

The advantage of exploring Tulum on a private tour is that you can go at your own pace, spend as much time swimming at the impressive underground cenote, take a break at any moment, and, of course, our Certified Guide will be entirely dedicated to answering your questions and revealing all of the greatness of this amazing Mayan city and the civilization behind it.

Discover the Nohoch Mul Temple

At roughly 138 feet tall, Nohoch Mul is the tallest Mayan pyramid on the Yucatan peninsula. It was the primary temple of this pre-Columbian city, and standing on the same stone platforms where Mayan priests once practiced their rituals is a once in a lifetime experience you’ll remember forever. Throughout your Mayan Cenote and Coba Private Tour, our knowledgeable bilingual guides will answer all of your questions about what life was like when the Mayan civilization was in its heyday.

Walk the Cobá-Yaxuná Causeway

The ancient city of Coba - which is more than 1,000 years old - is where the largest network of stone causeways in the Mayan world meet. You and your group will also have the opportunity to meander through the site, exploring the grand Cobá-Yaxuná causeway and other ceremonial roads, a Mayan ball court, buildings, and Grupo Cobá, one of the site’s other pyramids. Another intriguing feature of the site that you’ll discover are the stelae - upright stone sculptures that stand as a record of the history of the Mesoamerican civilization. The engravings on these stones were used to record changes in population, document ceremonial life, and serve as a record of import events in the Mayan world.

Swim Cancun’s Amazing Cenotes

After immersing yourself in history, your Mayan Cenote and Coba Private Tour will continue with a trip to swim in the cenotes. The refreshing waters in these cenotes are some of the clearest and most beautiful in all of Mexico. These underground pools were formed millions of years ago when the water receded from the Yucatan Peninsula, leaving behind a network of incredible cave formations that are full of beautiful rock structures.

Mayan Cenote and Coba Private Tour Tips

This is a wonderful tour for families who are comfortable with moderate levels of activity. Sturdy walking shoes are a must, and you may find you’re more comfortable in the Yucatan sun if you bring a hat with a brim. You’ll be wearing a life vest as you explore the cenotes but it’s still important that everyone in your group has mastered basic swimming skills.

Isla Mujeres: A Tropical Paradise

Many people who visit Isla Mujeres - a small, four-mile island a short boat ride from Cancun - are drawn to it because it is the total antithesis to the party-fueled energy of Cancun. Here, the menu of things to do is relatively small, but that is all part of the island’s appeal.

Under a tropical sun, you can tick away the hours snorkeling with bright tropical fish darting around colorful coral reefs, glide over the waves on a kayak or paddleboard, bask in the sunshine on a pristine beach, swim in brilliantly clear blue waters, nibble on seafood caught early that very morning or just kick back with a drink!

There’s More to See and Do

Perhaps you’d like to visit Punta Sur, where there is an ancient Mayan temple built to honor their Moon Goddess on lands marked by steep cliffs and amazing views of the bay. There is also Garrafon Reef Park, where visitors can swim, snorkel, kayak and even zip line.

Nature lovers might want to stop by the local Tortugranja, or turtle farm, where between August and October lucky visitors may catch a glimpse of baby sea turtles hatching and making their way to the beautiful Caribbean waters that will become their home. The choice is yours!

A Truly Romantic Sailing Tour

Our private Isla Mujeres luxury sailing excursion is designed for romance from beginning to end. Isla Mujeres is a wonderful place to take long walks, the beachfront dining options are magical and the island itself is still isolated enough that your time there will feel private. But when you’re ready to return to your own little haven, you can come back to the yacht where our attentive crew will offer you a drink and a chance to bask in luxury for just a bit longer.

Your day begins at Vallarta Adventures’ departure points in Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta where we will hop aboard a speedboat that will take us to a village called Yelapa.

On arrival, to the coastal town of Yelapa, our caballerangos will be ready to saddle you up for a horseback or mule ride along the picturesque Yelapa river to admire the natural surrounding area.

At the end of your time in Yelapa, you’ll have the opportunity to relax on the beach or just to chill at one of its beach restaurants, with a beer or a tropical drink on hand, while you enjoy the views of the fishing boats floating on Yelapa's warm waters.

Upon returning to the boat, we’ll then make our way to Pizota, another small village with a small beach that’s only accessible by boat.

In this private oasis, you’ll get to enjoy a delicious lunch, relax on the beach, as well as go snorkeling or kayaking. Once you’ve had your fill of relaxation and adventure, it's time to head home with another scenic boat ride back to where we started.

First, an Exclusive Boat Tour through Banderas Bay

Start your day with Vallarta Adventures with our Sea Safari Tour boat ride. But it’s not just any boat. Climb aboard for a thrilling speedboat ride over the brilliant waters of Banderas Bay, where a brand new view of the fantastic lush coastline will reveal itself to you. As exciting as this ride is, it culminates in a relaxing visit to Yelapa, one of the many villages in the south part of the bay.

Safari Snorkeling (and Kayaking, Too)

The relaxation continues as you mosey back to the seashore for a snorkeling session in a secluded cove full of rock reefs and teeming with colorful sea life. Your Sea Safari tour includes all the equipment you’ll need to explore the world under the waves. For snorkeling novices, our guides have been trained to show you everything you need to know to feel comfortable in the water.

Although the clarity of the water and the abundance of marine life varies throughout the year due to water temperature, tides, and currents; most of the time, this spot offers a good underwater experience thanks to its secluded location, protected from the hustle and bustle of city life.

But if snorkeling isn’t how you want to enjoy Banderas Bay, we’ll have kayaks ready at Pizota for anyone who prefers to paddle. And of course, we always bring life vests because safety is one of our top priorities.

And Finally, Lunch at Pizota

After you’ve gotten acquainted with the amazing sea life of the fishing village shoreline, you’ll retire to a quiet, private beach paradise in Pizota. This village is even quieter, with a mere 100 residents.

You’ll have the opportunity to slowly savor a freshly-prepared lunch and an open bar right there on an untouched soft sand beach, under swaying palms, in the bright Mexican sunshine, before heading home on another thrilling boat ride with sweeping vistas and refreshing sea breezes.

Take in the ocean from within and without on a tour that includes both adventure and a chance to disconnect from the world. Your safari begins with a speedboat ride across Banderas Bay to the tiny fishing village, where you can explore - and shop - your way along the coastline. Finally, you’ll ride back to the ocean for some of the best snorkeling in Mexico before lunching in the private beach paradise of Pizota.

Welcome to Alma, a unique and immersive show that highlights the wonders of what happens when we connect with nature, animals and the ancestral spirits of the surrounding jungle.

Believed to have a protective soul, the Pyramid of the Sun is one of the most important and iconic landmarks in Mexico, however only a handful of souls are aware of the existence of a hidden pyramid with magical energy that is discovered only by those willing to embark on an inspirational journey.

Our story follows the legend of the quirky keeper, the protector of this hidden pyramid and sacred object, a character whose only job is to stop anyone from touching the most precious and spiritual symbol on the island. This hidden pyramid has the power to open portals between the gods and humanity. 

Our playful and whimsical keeper makes a connection with the pyramid that triggers a series of awakenings, embarking him on a rite of passage that transforms his soul. He soon learns that restoring the balance in the world can only be achieved by respecting and accepting the offerings of this special place.

A surreal and perfectly curated natural amphitheater nestled in the heart of the jungle is where you will see this story come to life through a mixture of incredible acrobatics, original music, and unique special effects.

Islas Marietas: A Natural Sanctuary for Nature and Sea Life

The Bay of Banderas is one of the few places in the world that is a natural sanctuary for a profusion of natural land and sea life. Within the Bay of Banderas, there are few areas lusher in life than the waters surrounding Islas Marietas National Park. During the winter months, it is common to see humpback whales in the bay, since this is a centuries-old breeding ground and respite following their annual migrations. Dolphin encounters are a regular year-round occurrence. You may see them in large groups leaping out of the water or in pairs riding along near the bows of boats in the bay.

Ready to spend a relaxing day in the south part of the bay and experience a little bit of the coastal life of Mexico? Then you won’t want to miss out on this amazing tour that lets you explore the small fishing town of Yelapa, as well as the secluded Majahuitas beach.

Upon your arrival, you can choose to spend your time at the beach or take a scenic hike through the town of Yelapa, admiring its unique views that combine the beach, the foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains and the Yelapa river, as well as the numerous colorful artwork pieces that adorn its pathways and staircases.

Once there, you can spend the rest of the day however you wish, whether it’s snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, or just simply sun tanning on the beach.

Yelapa Mexico, just south of Puerto Vallarta and only accessible by boat, is home to a small fishing community and is a must-see destination for those traveling to Puerto Vallarta.

Our tour will allow you to freely stroll through the town's hilly narrow roads and pathways, which offer views to spare of the river, the beach, and the tropical vegetation that cover the foothills of the Sierra Madre, where Yelapa is located. Expressive murals and tile artwork cover some of its walls and staircases, making the hike an Instagram-worthy experience.

You'll find street vendors with colorful displays of arts &amp; crafts, hand-made pieces, and souvenirs, as well as others offering a local famous dessert simply known as the "Yelapa pie", made of tropical fruits such as banana, coconut, or lime.

If you don't feel like walking, it's always a good idea just to chill at one of the traditional beach restaurants, with a beer or a tropical drink on hand, while you enjoy the views of the fishing boats floating on Yelapa's warm waters.

During the rainy season, one of the town's points of interest is the Yelapa waterfall, also called "Cola de Caballo", so if you are taking the Yelapa &amp; Majahuitas tour from July to November, make sure you don't miss the guided walk to this refreshing waterfall.

Kayak, Paddleboard and Snorkel in Majahuitas

Experience the breathtaking exclusive beach of Majahuitas. With its untouched golden beach and emerald water, it's the perfect hideaway for a day of snorkeling, paddle boarding, and kayaking. 

Although the clarity of the water and the abundance of marine life varies throughout the year due to water temperature, tides, and currents; most of the time, Majahuitas offers a good underwater experience thanks to its secluded location, protected from the hustle and bustle of city life. 

For those who don't want to practice water sports, Majahuitas is also an ideal place for relaxation and sun tanning. Explore all of the hidden corners of this casual beach club, decored in a tasteful hippie-chic style, that will give you plenty of opportunities to take a photo and show off a little bit of your time in Puerto Vallarta.

Onboard Entertainment

As we cruise back to Puerto Vallarta with an open bar and onboard fiesta, we'll wrap up a perfect day with some great music, dancing, and unforgettable entertainment from the Vallarta Adventures crew—and some guests too, of course!

Yelapa and Majahuitas Tour

Certified divers can explore pristine waters in the furthest dive sites from Puerto Vallarta - and two of the most fascinating!

When you scuba in La Corbeteña and El Sequial with the team of Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center, you’ll come face to face with a profusion of sea life, from manta rays and turtles to dolphins and even sharks. But these beautiful creatures aren’t the only reason to make the trek out to these sites. Dive deep, traverse caves and commune with some of the largest fish in the sea on two dives that are worth getting PADI certified.

This dive site is only available as a private excursion for certified divers (1,500 USD is the starting rate for up to 6 divers). 

Scuba in La Corbeteña

With its crystal clear waters and incredible visibility, La Corbeteña is a dive site you don’t want to miss. Northwest of Puerto Vallarta, 36 miles off the shore, you’ll find the rock that marks the spot where caves, arches, and steep walls await those underwater explorers experienced enough to cope with the sometimes challenging currents.

Once you’re beneath the waves you’ll enjoy close encounters with huge schools of jacks, giant rays, reef sharks, sailfish, marlin and whale sharks.

Scuba Dive at El Sequial

To scuba in La Corbeteña and El Sequial is to experience some of the most striking landscapes under the sea. At El Sequial, located outside of Banderas Bay, there is unique a submerged tabletop island that is a haven to a huge variety of marine life. Imagine traversing a giant sunken football field populated by massive sailfish and tuna and then peering over the side of the massive table into dark drop-offs below - a true underwater thrill.

Why These Dives Require Certification

The most interesting dive sites in the world are often deeper and more challenging. Our experienced PADI certified guides are always ready to take our guests into deeper waters and to more exciting locations, provided they have the necessary qualifications.

If you’d like to scuba in La Corbeteña and El Sequial but aren’t certified, we’d like to invite you to look at our dive certification courses. A dive certification course can open up a world of opportunities, and many of our courses can be completed while you are on your Puerto Vallarta vacation.

Want to get under the waves faster? Our PADI Scuba Diver Certification is one of the fastest ways to take an in-depth PADI scuba course administered by a certified instructor during your holiday. Start your training at Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center. Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll have earned a limited certification that allows you to dive more locations in the company of a dive guide.

What Makes This a Two Tank Dive?

When you scuba in La Corbeteña and El Sequial, you’ll have a tank of air for each site. Only certified divers can participate in back to back dives. Divers without a PADI certification can participate in 1-tank dives to a maximum depth of 40 feet whereas certified divers can participate in 2-tank dives down to a depth of 60 feet. More advanced divers can dive even further down and in sites where obstacles and low visibility can present challenges to less experienced divers. 

Trip details:

Dives: 2 (certified divers)
	Water Temp: 62-82°F/17-28°C
	Average Visibility: 40-120 ft/12-36.5 m
	Depth: 40-80 ft/9-39.6 m

Getting back into the water after an extended break from diving? It can be stressful. Your skills may feel rusty. There could be new equipment to review and old rules to familiarize yourself with. You might be tempted to jump right back into the deep blue, but for safety’s sake, we recommend you take your PADI ReActivate course first!

You’ll work closely with a 5-star PADI certified dive instructor here in Puerto Vallarta to refresh whatever kills you feel are the most in need of refreshing so you get back to diving faster and get more out of your next scuba adventure.

What is PADI ReActivate?

PADI Reactivate is a course for certified divers that is made up of two components; theory &amp; practice. Part one will have you complete a knowledge review online, which is an express course through all of the basics, and can even be completed before arrival. Part two is a dive skills refresher that will be done with one of our PADI Dive Masters. Once you have successfully completed these two components, you will receive a replacement certification card which shows a ‘ReActivate Thru’ date.

If you haven’t been on a dive in awhile this PADI ReActivate course is designed to ensure you feel confident the next time you sink beneath the surface. Puerto Vallarta is the perfect place to refresh your skills and scuba dive in some of the most beautiful waters of the Pacific.

How to refresh your Scuba Diving skills in Puerto Vallarta

Once you’ve booked with us, you will receive a PADI e-learning access code which allows you to take the online course. This can be done even before arriving in Puerto Vallarta, leaving your refresher pool dive as the only thing standing between you, and your reactivated certification! 

You will be contacted by someone from our Dive Specialist team, who will locate the nearest pool to where you are for your practical refresher course. 

Why ReActivate?

While taking a PADI ReActivate course isn’t mandatory, it is a good way to get ready for a diving vacation or to prepare for an upgraded certification course. If you’re an experienced diver who has taken a lengthy hiatus from diving, you may only need a few reminders to get back up to speed. The value of having peace of mind when you’re below the surface can not be overstated. Being able to respond quickly to changing conditions or an emergency is the best way to ensure that every dive is better than the last.

The marine life is bountiful in Banderas Bay, so turtle and tropical fish enthusiasts will have plenty to enjoy.

What You’ll See When You Scuba Dive in Las Caletas

Las Caletas Beach Hideaway is a Vallarta Adventures private, protected beach located on the Southern shore of Banderas Bay. This shore dive will put you eye-to-eye with garden eels, jawfish, eagle rays, manta rays, large schools of colorful tropical fish and our resident sea turtle. It’s one of the finest dive sites on the Pacific Coast of Mexico for the marine life alone, plus there is a natural reef nearby.

Our representatives can help you build an itinerary that includes activities for divers and non-divers alike! Las Caletas has plenty to offer besides scuba diving and snorkeling!

Safety Is Our Number One Priority

Scuba diving is safe but there are risks inherent in every underwater activity. That’s why every one of our scuba dives in Las Caletas is supervised by PADI-certified instructors and divemasters, and we use the buddy system to ensure that no guest ever dives alone.

Vallarta Adventures’ private beach has underwater adventures, too!  Located on the Southern shore of Banderas Bay, this cove is an ideal place for those new to diving to learn the ropes and also offers plenty for experienced divers to explore. You’ll see garden eels, jaw fish, rays, turtles, large schools of tropical fish and even two fascinating shipwrecks!

Scuba Dive in Las Caletas

Join the professional team of Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center for an hour-long trip in our fully equipped dive boat to one of our favorite dive sites in the outer limits of Banderas Bay: Los Anegados.

Halfway between the Marietas Islands and El Morro, there is a bank where shallows transition into deeper waters and divers can join bottom dwellers like rays and eels and then pelagics like jacks and tuna in waters that can sometimes pose a challenge but are typically pleasantly mild and easy for more experienced divers to navigate.

This dive site is only available as a private excursion for certified divers (1200 USD is the starting rate for up to 4 divers).

See Caves and Fascinating Rock Formations

Where else can you see such a wide variety of marine life in one day? The relatively sheltered rocky bank at Los Anegados is peppered with caves and punctuated by intricate rock formations that are the perfect hiding spots for creatures both large and small, including moray eels, eagle rays, and sometimes even nurse sharks.

A Shallow but Challenging Scuba Dive in Los Anegados

The shallow depths at Los Anegados may make it seem like an easy site, but this dive can sometimes be demanding for even more experienced divers. There are sometimes strong currents to contend with and north winds can make the ocean rough. Very rarely, the conditions at Los Anegados are such that we don’t feel we can guarantee our guests’ safety, and in such cases, we take guests to the beautiful Marietas Islands or to another dive site in the southern part of Banderas Bay.

Open Water Shark Diving at Los Anegados

This popular diving tour gives you the opportunity to dive at two different locations in Los Anegados, and if you’re lucky you will get to see some of our famous sharks! Nurse sharks are gentle creatures that spend their days resting on the sandy ocean floor and tend to turn tail and swim away when approached by humans.

But you can observe nurse sharks from a distance if you have your Open Water Certification. The biggest nurse sharks prefer deeper reefs and shelves 100 feet into the ocean. You can meet these sharks, too, though you’ll need an Advanced Open Water Certification or higher.

Get Certified Before Your Dive

Did you know that we offer a variety of PADI scuba diving certifications? Some of these courses have components that you can complete ahead of your vacation so you can do book work and pool work before you leave. All of our courses are designed to get you into the water faster and ultimately to give you qualifications that will open up a world of diving opportunities to you.

From Learn to Dive classes led by PADI certified instructors that teach you the basics of scuba and equip you with the knowledge you need for one-tank dives, to PADI Scuba Diver Certification courses that give you a limited certification so you can dive with a guide to more advanced courses for serious divers, there’s a scuba course for you at Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center.

Stay Safe from Start to Finish

The safety of our guests is our number one priority, in and out of the water. Every one of our dives, at Los Anegados and at other sites, is overseen by one or more PADI certified instructors trained to look for any signs of trouble. We also use the buddy system on all of our dives, so no guest is ever alone under the waves. Help is always a wave away.

The Dive Location

This dive can sometimes be demanding for divers due to strong currents, but typically the current is mild. The location of this dive site is outside of the bay, 24 nautical miles. We will get north winds that can make the ocean rough. The journey to the dive site is 1 hour in our fully-equipped dive boat. If the conditions are too difficult at Anegados, we may change the destination to The Marietas Islands or to the Southern part of the bay.

This rock bank halfway between El Morro and the Marietas Islands is a must-see spot if you’re scuba diving Puerto Vallarta. Certified divers will love exploring the caves and fascinating rock formations that lie below the surface and swimming among the nurse sharks. You’ll also see turtles, seahorses, dolphins, jacks, sailfish and more!

Private Scuba Dive in Los Anegados

You know you’ve reached El Morro, an advanced dive site on the edge of Banderas Bay when you set your sights on a dramatic series of rock pinnacles jutting out of the Pacific Ocean. That’s where experienced divers can plunge under the waves with a PADI Dive Master to dive walls and explore amazing caves and tunnels.

That’s not all there is to discover, however! You can also get up close and personal with large pelagics like rays, manta rays, and even humpback whales (during winter months). Visit this amazing site with the professional team of Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center. Scuba diving in El Morro is one of a kind experience you’ll never forget!

**This dive site is also available as a private excursion for certified divers ($840 USD is the starting rate for up to 4 divers). To book your private scuba Diving excursion to El Morro, please contact our Travel Advisor today at 1-888-526-2238 or info@vallarta-adventures.com.

Discover Drama in the Deep

El Morro is sometimes called the most secluded dive site in Puerto Vallarta, but it is definitely one of the most striking. The pinnacles that are the first sign you’ve reached El Morro are also what make it so unique a site. They rise from the ocean floor and are pockmarked with dozens of tunnels and caves that are teeming with marine life - all of which you can discover on this dive.

A Diversity of Creatures Awaits

Down below El Morro you might see lobsters, turtles, octopuses,  seahorses and jacks, along with sharks, and the biggest eels and most awe-inspiring manta rays you’ve ever seen. Then there are the coral and the sponges, which come in every conceivable color and are home to too many varieties of tropical fish to count. It is a spectacle of color!

The Caverns at El Morro

The start of your scuba dive in El Morro involves diving down 90 feet, where you’ll see cave openings in front of you. It’s difficult to see inside, but those daring enough to enter will be rewarded with two things. First, rocky granite walls teeming with invertebrates like sea fans and coral, along with brilliant nudibranchs and scurrying shrimp. Sometimes an octopus will speed by! And second, a brilliant view of the surrounding sea. The darkness of the cave makes the brilliant clarity of the water all the more stunning.

Why Scuba Diving in El Morro Requires Certification

El Morro can have challenging currents and sea conditions that are intimidating for less experienced divers, but that isn’t the only reason our PADI certified dive guides limit this dive to certified guests. The same conditions that make this dive site so fascinating are those that make it riskier for dive enthusiasts who haven’t yet been certified.

If you’d like to scuba dive in El Morro but aren’t yet certified, now is the time! Taking one of the dive certification courses offered by Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center will give you the knowledge and the qualifications you need to dive in deeper waters and in the most exciting locations in and around Puerto Vallarta. Many of these PADI courses can even be completed while you’re on vacation!

Safety Is Our Number One Priority

When our guests scuba dive in El Morro or in any of the other dive sites in and around Puerto Vallarta, our PADI-certified guides are there to ensure that all dives are as safe as they are thrilling. Dives are supervised by one PADI-certified instructor per each group of six divers, and we use the buddy system to be sure that no diver is ever alone.

Scuba Diving in El Morro

This certified, two-tank diving takes you to one of the best spots in Puerto Vallarta. Thanks in part to the efforts of conservationist Jacques Cousteau, the Marietas Islands Marine Reserve is a paradise of untouched tropical beauty, above and below the waves. When you experience Marietas Islands scuba diving, you will glide along an underwater mountain range that offers the perfect conditions for observing sharks, turtles, and other fascinating marine species that call the reserve home.

This dive is for certified and experienced divers. All divers must provide their PADI Certification

* This dive site is also available as a private excursion for certified divers (840 USD is the starting rate for up to 4 divers). Please contact our Adventure Advisors, toll-free from USA &amp; Canada 1.888.526.2238 or SEND US AN EMAIL

Diving at the Marietas Islands

Your adventure begins on a boat that will take you 21 miles from the shore out into the furthest reaches of Banderas Bay. Depending on the time of year, you may spot dolphins cavorting in the water or a humpback whale breaching! The dive site, which is considered suitable for all levels, will wow you with its visibility.

Travel through these clear waters and see volcanic formations, arches, spires, tunnels, and caves, which create the perfect setting for an amazing experience. You’ll see tropical fish, giant manta rays and other creatures that will convince you that the Mexican Pacific is a truly amazing place for diving and snorkeling.

Why the Marietas Islands are So Beautiful

These islands have no human residents and were actually the site of bomb testing in the first half of the 20th century. There’s no way to know for sure, but many of the most interesting features of the archipelago may be man-made! In the 1960s, Jacques Cousteau pioneered the idea of protecting this ecosystem though it took many decades for the islands to be officially christened Parque Nacional Islas Marietas. Today, the remarkable flora and fauna that can be found here are flourishing and eco-exploration helps fund the continued efforts to keep the Marietas Islands pristine and ensure that the wildlife can thrive.

Scuba Dive at the Marietas Islands as Part of a Private Excursion

You can scuba at the Marietas Islands as part of a private trip for your friends, family, business colleagues, school or dive club. Just contact us and let us know what kind of Puerto Vallarta vacation you’re dreaming of, and we’ll help you create it. The Marietas Islands aren’t just a gorgeous diving spot; they’re also a beautiful spot for anyone who loves relaxing in nature. Non-divers love these islands because they can go snorkeling and explore gorgeous coral reefs, whale watch from a kayak drifting gently in the sea, and then swim to a sandbank, where there’s nothing to do but enjoy the warmth of the sun and take in all the beauty.

Scuba Dive at Marietas Islands

Are you ready for your next diving adventure? The expert team of Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center is excited to bring you to one of the best scuba spots in Puerto Vallarta on your next getaway! Nestled in a cluster of granite islands rising out of the waters of the southern part of Banderas Bay, Los Arcos is a truly thrilling place to explore.

There are the Devil’s Canyon and El Bajo, plus a fascinating multitude of beautiful fish, lobsters, octopuses, rays and eels. Every Monday, Friday and Saturday our PADI Divemasters bring divers to scuba dive at Los Arcos and discover the adventure that awaits underneath the waves!

Why Scuba Dive at Los Arcos

Los Arcos National Marine Park (or Los Arcos de Mismaloya) is located between two beaches, Mismaloya Beach and Las Gemelas. The waters here are some of the deepest in Banderas Bay and their depths conceal deep tunnels, caves, arches, teeming marine life like rays and sea turtles and a thriving reef. Los Arcos is particularly famous for its brilliantly colored nudibranchs and the other small creatures who call the rocky underwater slopes home.

The biodiversity down below mirrors what you’ll find above the waves, and because the water is so clear you can see it all in living color. When you join our PADI Divemaster to scuba dive at Los Arcos you get unprecedented access to an ecological paradise that has flourished thanks to the protection of the archipelago as well as Los Arcos’ status as a protected environment.

If you’ve never scuba dived before or haven't been certified yet, you’ll need to take a PADI Discover Scuba class first with Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center. In these classes, our PADI Instructors will teach you everything you need to know about scuba equipment and how to use it, breathing underwater and the safety procedures that make scuba diving safe. You can take the course at a variety of hotels in and around Puerto Vallarta and once you’ve completed it, you’ll be ready for your first dive. To reserve a PADI Discover Scuba class and a beginner dive, contact an Adventure Advisor today!

Safety Is a Top Priority

Every one of our scuba dives at Los Arcos is supervised by one PADI Divemaster per each group of four divers. We use the buddy system to ensure that no diver is every alone in a moment of uncertainty - help is always there.

We Take Animal Welfare Seriously

Dolphins and sea lions need downtime just like people, which is why we limit the length of our Dolphin Extreme encounters and other wildlife experiences.

Our dolphins and sea lions spend less than two hours each day interacting with people and then spend the rest of their time playing and interacting with one another, working closely with our trainers and relaxing in a safe and stimulating environment we have created just for them.

All of our animals are given regular checkups and their diets are closely monitored to ensure they stay healthy and happy. To learn more about how we care for our dolphins and sea lions, please take a look at our Corporate Responsibility page.

We make sure that our Pacific Bottlenose family spends no more than two hours each day interacting with visitors, and we give them plenty of time to play and interact with one another in the stimulating environment we have created for them.

Get Inspired by Your Swim Adventure with Dolphins

Everyone knows that dolphins are smart, friendly, and fun, but there’s actually a lot that scientists don’t know about these animals yet. What we do know is that we can all help protect them from the impact humans are making on their habitats.

Our programs help inspire people to think about how their actions impact the health of our oceans and of the creatures who call them home.

When people, in particular children, spend time with dolphins at our dolphin center and during other encounters, they naturally think more about how they can personally help dolphins thrive in the wild and are more likely to support research and conservation initiatives.

Safety Is Our First Priority at the Dolphin Center

We are serious about the safety of both our guests and our dolphins! Our staff has over 30 years of experience in all areas of the marine mammal field.

From overseeing the health and welfare of our dolphins to offering dolphin education programs at our marine life center, our team of specialists is working hard to create a greater understanding and appreciation of dolphins and the environment we share.

We are Committed to the Welfare of Our Animals

We strive to treat our dolphins like the intelligent and sensitive creatures they are. For that reason, we limit the length of the Dolphin Swim Adventure and other encounters so our Pacific Bottlenose families spend no more than two hours each day interacting with visitors.

They get ample downtime, with plenty of opportunities to play and interact with each other and to simply relax in the stimulating environment we have created for them at our dolphin center in Vallarta, Mexico.

They also work with our trainers to ensure they’re getting plenty of enrichment. And because their physical well-being is an important part of their welfare, our dolphins receive regular checkups and enjoy a carefully monitored diet.
