Private Dive in Corbeteña

Certified divers can explore pristine waters in the furthest dive sites from Puerto Vallarta - and two of the most fascinating!

When you scuba in La Corbeteña and El Sequial with the team of Vallarta Adventures' PADI Five Star Dive Center, you’ll come face to face with a profusion of sea life, from manta rays and turtles to dolphins and even sharks. But these beautiful creatures aren’t the only reason to make the trek out to these sites. Dive deep, traverse caves and commune with some of the largest fish in the sea on two dives that are worth getting PADI certified.

This dive site is only available as a private excursion for certified divers (1,500 USD is the starting rate for up to 6 divers). 

Scuba in La Corbeteña

With its crystal clear waters and incredible visibility, La Corbeteña is a dive site you don’t want to miss. Northwest of Puerto Vallarta, 36 miles off the shore, you’ll find the rock that marks the spot where caves, arches, and steep walls await those underwater explorers experienced enough to cope with the sometimes challenging currents.

Once you’re beneath the waves you’ll enjoy close encounters with huge schools of jacks, giant rays, reef sharks, sailfish, marlin and whale sharks.

Scuba Dive at El Sequial

To scuba in La Corbeteña and El Sequial is to experience some of the most striking landscapes under the sea. At El Sequial, located outside of Banderas Bay, there is unique a submerged tabletop island that is a haven to a huge variety of marine life. Imagine traversing a giant sunken football field populated by massive sailfish and tuna and then peering over the side of the massive table into dark drop-offs below - a true underwater thrill.
