Deep blue and expansive, the view from land only skims the surface. Teaming with life, Banderas Bay more closely resembles the surrounding geography, with its floor, a mate to the ridgelines and mountains above.
Diving is the only true way to see all of the treasures of the Bay.
As a dive site, it's known for the diversity of fish, its stunning sub aquatic panoramas, and the mystical sensation of swimming amidst extraordinary sea life. In the winter months, humpback whales migrate to local waters, and divers remark on the peaceful feeling they are left with after listening to their tonal songs under water. During the summer, sea turtles seem to fly past you, their swimming speed in complete contrast to their stodgy land maneuvers. And all year long, colorful tropical, majestic game fish and other marine life playfully populate the bay. These creatures are gentle giants and they want to look at you.
