Situated off the sun-dappled coast of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the Scuba Dive Majahiutas trip with Estigo Tours offers an immersive plunge into the marine wonders of the Los Arcos National Marine Park. This protected underwater sanctuary comprises a scattering of small islands crowned by vibrant coral reefs, labyrinthine arches, deep tunnels, and mysterious caves that attract divers ranging from novices to seasoned explorers.
The journey begins aboard a traditional panga, where Estigo Tours equips guests with all necessary scuba gear and essential guidance. The first descent, fondly known as “The Aquarium,” reveals a bustling aquatic metropolis teeming with tropical fish, curious eels, and shimmering schools navigating the crystal-clear waters. Its gentle depths and captivating biodiversity create an ideal setting for beginners refining their skills or certified divers reacclimating after a hiatus.
For those chasing more adrenaline, the adventure continues into Devil’s Canyon. This deep dive whispers secrets at depths reaching up to 45 meters (130 feet), plunging into the impressive Banderas Trench. As divers pass through the ominous-sounding Devil’s Mouth, they encounter expansive underwater canyons that drop precipitously beneath them—a humbling reminder of the ocean’s vast scale. Here, manta rays and vast fish schools intermittently glide by, crafting moments of marine spectacle rarely seen elsewhere.
Estigo Tours anchors itself firmly in Puerto Vallarta's outdoor community, creating an authentic local experience through unmatched knowledge of the ocean currents, underwater topography, and marine life behavior. The combination of immersive underwater landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and personalized instruction—transported by modest, locally operated pangas—makes this dive series a standout in Mexico’s adventure tourism.
