Los Arcos Night Dive
- Only Available Wednesday
Los Arcos is a protected underwater national park located in beautiful Bay of Banderas, close to Mismaloya. This protected marine park features amazing and unique granite formations that have been carved out over time by the force of the waters and now form the arches the park was named after. Sea life in this area is exceptionally diverse with rays, lobster, eels, morays and many others.
Los Arcos also features fascinating underwater mountain ranges that we will explore on this tour to watch nocturnal sea creatures such as octopus and lobster. This site has an average water temperature of 65-89°F, an average visibility of 60ft, and an average depth of 30-1600ft.
