How is diving in Los Arcos of Puerto Vallarta?

Diving in Los Arcos of Puerto Vallarta

Located ten minutes from Sierra del Mar, Los Arcos is a protected marine reserve teeming with a wide variety of marine life.

Chiefly because of its protected status and its proximity to Puerto Vallarta, Los Arcos is among the most visited ocean sites in the Banderas Bay -with good reason.

Spanish for “the arches”, Los Arcos’ moniker is perfectly suited. Grottoes, caves, reefs, tunnels and a bountiful amount of arches greet visitors, along with damselfish, parrotfish and puffer fish.

Resident seahorses peak through beautiful coral reefs and intermingle with elegant manta rays, playful clownfish, beautiful needlefish, octopus, lobster and a stunning selection of colorful fish.

Because there is no fishing permitted nearby, no wave runners zooming by and a ban on fast  boats, Los Arcos is not only an ideal underwater playground  but very safe, as well.

There are five great dive sites around the area, enough options to suit any level. Beginners will find the aquarium a perfect entry into the world of diving and snorkeling. A bit deeper, experienced divers will find the entry way into the underwater cliff “Devil’s Canyon”, appropriately named “Devil’s Jaw” and “Devil’s Mouth”. An enormous 800-foot wall begins at 60 feet, ensuring that advanced divers are challenged as well.

The beauty and diversity of Los Arcos provides a great way to enjoy a slow, relaxed dive, as well as witness the magnificence of nature and underwater life.

Diving in Los Arcos is an exciting adventure that you can’t miss it. Your concierge at Sierra del Mar at Los Arcos could help you to find a great adventure in this place.
