探索巴亞爾塔港
巴亞爾塔港是墨西哥哈利斯科州的一個海濱度假勝地/郵輪港口城市。它坐落在面向太平洋的班德拉斯灣（Bahía de Banderas）畔。除了美麗的海灘和快速發展之外，班德拉斯灣還以座頭鯨的繁殖地而聞名。
水肺潛水是巴亞爾塔港的主要旅遊項目之一。班德拉斯灣 (Bahía de Banderas) 水流平緩，非常適合新手潛水。當地多家潛水店提供潛水認證課程，並會帶領學員到此潛水。這些潛水店還組織每日乘船前往洛斯阿爾科斯島 (Los Arcos) 和拉斯馬里埃塔斯島 (Las Marietas) 等近海島嶼，進行更高級的潛水活動。這些島嶼的海洋動植物生物多樣性極為豐富，這也不難理解，因為洛斯阿爾科斯島（或稱米斯馬洛亞阿爾科斯島）是國家海洋公園，而拉斯馬里埃塔斯島則是受保護的野生動物保護區。

在巴亞爾塔港潛水的最佳月份
前往洛斯阿爾科斯和拉斯馬里埃塔斯等近海潛點的最佳時間是每年的11月至隔年5月，此時海況最為平靜。潛水員也有機會在這段時間看到蝠鱝、鯨鯊以及座頭鯨。不過，由於較冷的海水吸引了大量浮游生物，這段時間的能見度可能會略有下降。
如果您喜歡溫暖的海水（26°C/78.8°F）和最佳的能見度，那麼六月到十月是理想的旅行時間。
