  • Non-certified divers can participate in 1-tank dives with a maximum depth of 40 ft after completing a Vallarta Adventures Discover Scuba pool lesson before the day of their dive.
  • Certified divers are automatically entitled to participate in 2 tank dives up to a maximum depth of 60 ft.
  • Advanced divers can participate in 2 tank dives up to a maximum depth of 120 ft.
