Corbeteņa
Surrounded by the blue waters of the Pacific 40 miles from Puerto Vallarta, this remote island attracts all manner of sea life - and very few scuba divers. A profusion of manta rays, turtles, sharks and dolphins are native to these waters, and huge schools of Jack tuna circle this tiny island in search of food.
Offering certified divers the chance to explore caves, arches and steep walls, Corbeteņa is a great dive site with moderate currents and depths of up to 120 feet, with visibility ranging from 60-120 ft. Trips to this incredible dive site are limited to small groups of experienced divers - so make your reservations TODAY!

Los Anegados
This rock bank lies half way between El Morro and the Marietas Islands in a relatively sheltered area of the outer limits of Banderas Bay. The bank starts at around 30 ft below the ocean's surface and is full of caves and interesting rock formations. The highlight of this dive is the chance to see nurse sharks which are often sighted here.
Los Anegados is a popular second dive after the deeper descents at El Morro and, due to the shallower depths here, it is common that you will see bottom dwellers such as rays and eels. Pelagics such as Tuna and Jacks are also very common here as well as the famous giant manatas of the Marietas Islands. This popular scuba tour gives you the chance to enjoy a one tank dive at both El Morro and Los Anegados for one low price - so make your reservations TODAY!

El Sequial
This submerged "table top" island lies approximately 1km north of La Corbeteņa and is a haven for large marine life. Approximately 300 meters long, this dive location appears like a giant sunken football field at a depth of between 60ft and 80ft full.
Incredible drop-offs on each side of the table-top make for a unique diving experience and due to it's location outside of the Bay visibility is often much better here at El Sequial than at other dive sites closer to Vallarta. The name Sequial means a "dry area" indicating that it is one of the few shallow areas close to the Corbeteņa island. Depths in this part of the bay go as far down as 1.5 miles and so it is an area popularly frequented by large marine life such as Tuna, Sailfish and sometimes Shark.
