OUR ADVICE: Los Arcos is a good place to go if you have a snorkeler in your group, or are short on time.  It is the most famous site in Puerto Vallarta, like Molokini in Maui. There are tons of fish, but it can get crowded in high season, and visibility is limited to around 50 feet.  A massive, 800-foot wall begins at 60-feet, making it a good dive for advanced divers as well.

Snorkelers Allowed: Yes
Reef Depth: 25-45 feet
Difficulty: Easy
Boat Ride: 45 min.
