★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 135 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $119Our pick

Review of Puerto Vallarta’s two-tank scuba trip with a PADI 5-Star center, covering sites, fees, safety, timing, wildlife, and value.

“I did not have a good experience with this vendor. The captain and tour guide showed up an hour late to start the tour. Then the captain drove the boat way too fast on choppy waters, which made me sea sick. Due to this, I was only able to partake in one of the dives and it wasn’t a good dive since I did not feel well. I asked for a partial refund from the vendor, but they would not accommodate and stated that “the tour was provided in full.” I will never use this vendor again.”

We signed a few pieces of paper and off we went, passing a baby crocodile swimming in the marina! Another very nice couple joined us and they had booked dives every day that week with Eric! Eric is a FANTASTIC instructor. Completely knowledgeable in his profession and made…”

Private Puerto Vallarta scuba tour for up to four, with personal guides, gear, snacks, and underwater time at Marietas or Los Arcos.

“We booked the “Private Scuba Diving Puerto Vallarta Undersea” at Los Arcos by Eco Explorer for 4 people on Jan 30, 2024. We showed up a little early but they were ready and immediately helped us get our forms and gear in order, so we were out on the water in good time. Carlos, the owner, introduced himself to us and ensured that we had the proper gear for our dives while also telling us about what to expect at Los Arcos. We realized we had forgotten to give them notice that only two of our party would be diving while the other two hoped to snorkel instead. Fortunately, they…”
