Jalisco

Jalisco offers diverse coastal diving along Mexico’s Pacific coast, with access to popular surf towns and ecological reserves. Within the administrative region, divers typically explore reefs, rocky walls, and cenotes in adjacent access points and nearby bays. Notable hubs include PV-area gateways like Puerto Vallarta and nearby dive sites along the Riviera Nayarit influence; local centers focus on recreational dives, drift dives, and exploration of abundant tropical marine life. The region benefits from warm water for much of the year, with visibility generally suitable for standard scuba training and weekend trips. Inland, the area’s freshwater bodies are separate from coastal diving and not a focal point for this region’s dive scene.
