Description

Los Arcos National Marine Park (or Los Arcos de Mismaloya) is located between two beaches, Mismaloya Beach and Las Gemelas. The waters here are some of the deepest in Banderas Bay and their depths conceal deep tunnels, caves, arches, teeming marine life like rays and sea turtles and a thriving reef. Los Arcos is particularly famous for its brilliantly colored nudibranchs and the other small creatures who call the rocky underwater slopes home.

The biodiversity down below mirrors what you’ll find above the waves, and because the water is so clear you can see it all in living color. When you join our PADI Divemaster to scuba dive at Los Arcos you get unprecedented access to an ecological paradise that has flourished thanks to the protection of the archipelago as well as Los Arcos’ status as a protected environment.

We run the trip at 9:00 the Dive Master will assist you at all times and help you to set up your gear and get ready to dive. After the first dive the dive guide will help you to get on the boat and he will get ready the second tank for you as fast as you can not even noted, the boat will move to a different dive spot to desend and use your second tank.

When finished your second tank our very friendly crew will provide your tasty box lunch to calm down your hangry.
