Los Arcos National Park is one of the most popular places to dive in Puerto Vallarta. Nestled in a cluster of granite islands in the southern part of Banderas Bay, this dynamic underwater world is full of places to explore like El Bajo and Devil’s Canyon. There’s lots of marine life to explore as well.
Wildlife encounters include semi-tropical pacific species like octopuses, lobsters, eagle rays, mantas, eels, butterflyfish, angelfish, damselfish, and more!
