Chimo is a secluded fishing village located in the south of Banderas Bay. Its privileged location close to the edge of the bay, makes this unique dive site a rich environment for tropical fish and large pelagics like manta rays.

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).

Discover Chimo's famous "Las Iglesias"

Getting to see "Las Iglesias", rock formations that emerge from the bottom of the ocean, is like admiring the pillars of a cathedral; a beautiful view for those who decide to join this adventure with the expert team of Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center!

Lessons take about 2 hours and course completion prepares you for a one-tank excursion to Las Caletas or Los Arcos.

All dives are supervised by a dive instructor per each group of 4. We use the buddy system for our dives so you’ll never be alone
