Scuba Diving Los Arcos

Los Arcos is an underwater National Reserve composed of rocky islets covered with grass, cactus and small trees. The islets are natural sanctuary for pelicans sea hawks, blue footed boobie birds and swallows. The unforgiving effect of erosion has formed amazing tunnels and arches; sea life is abundant and Los Arcos is the site with more biodiversity in the Banderas Bay.
Within swimming distance of the reef there is a wall, which sharply falls to 800 feet. The beginning of the drop starts at 60 feet giving experienced divers a great wall dive, combined with the deep blue abyss that lies below.
At night, Los Arcos is another great option for certified divers.
Both Divers and Snorkelers go to Los Arcos on the same trip, so if a companion would rather snorkel, be sure to check out our Snorkeling Los Arcos tour!
