About Us

Dive Zihua is located at the heart of downtown Zihuatanejo, on the Pacific coast of Mexico. We are an experienced PADI Dive Resort with an atmosphere you would expect to find in a small dive operation. We have a passion for diving and we are ready to work to offer you the best service in Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa. Our philosophy is to bring safe fun diving with an appreciation to the aquatic environment.

We are also involved in conservation projects and make everyday efforts to reduce our print.

We offer both diving and snorkeling tours through our full service dive facility. Learn to dive or continue your education with our PADI courses. In season, from December to March, we offer you the best seats on our whale watching tours.
