Scuba Diving at Marietas Island

Just off the coast of Puerto Vallarta lies an island where crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches and a tropical uninhabited landscape make a great base for a day of scuba diving. You'll experience Banderas Bay's underwater world with waters teaming with wildlife including giant manta rays and whales as well as colourful indigenous birds.If you're a certified scuba diver then this day tour to Marietas Islands is ideal for getting up close to Mexico's diverse species. You'll set sail from Puerto Vallarta to the island where you'll then have time to dive into the water while keeping your eyes peeled for whales, giant manta rays, turtles and if you're lucky you might even spot dolphins and sailfish.What's more, even if you're not a certified scuba diver you can still join in with all the fun by kayaking or snorkelling. Afterwards it's time for a bird watching tour to spot all the incredible species such as the blue-footed booby and red-billed tropicbird before stopping for lunch and heading back to the mainland.
