Beginner and certified divers can share the day with friends and family who do not dive on our family dive trips to Las Caletas and the Marietas Islands. While you explore the treasures beneath the sea, your non-diving friends can enjoy snorkeling, kayaking or just lazing in the sun.
Las Marietas Islands
Originally made famous by Jacques Cousteau in the 1970's, the Marietas Islands Marine Reserve has now become one of the most popular areas in Western Mexico for scuba diving. Part of an underwater mountain range that peaks above the ocean's surface, the Marietas Islands mark the entrance to Banderas Bay from the Pacific.
Beginner and certified divers can share an exciting day with friends and family who don't dive. On our Sunday thru Friday trips to the Marietas Islands, non-divers can spend the day sea kayaking or snorkeling while you enjoy exceptional scuba diving in the crystal clear waters of the Mexican Pacific - so make your reservations TODAY!
