Zihuatanejo is a coastal town on Mexico’s Pacific coast, serving as a gateway for divers heading to nearby reefs and wrecks along the Guerrero coast. The area offers basic dive services with a couple of dive centers and a range of shore and boat dive options suitable for local trips and short getaways. Given the town’s size and limited direct dive sites, most diving evidence comes from day trips to nearby offshore reefs and gradual walls, with typical warm tropical waters and moderate visibility.
