Additional Information
While diving in Zihuatanejo you can find that the local marine life is incredible in its quantity and variety. Dive conditions do change throughout the year including visibility, temperature and currents. The water temperature changes in some months of the year, April to May being the coldest with an average of 26ºC / 78F but it can be as cold as 20ºC / 65F during this period so be prepared. The rest of the year tends to be a bit warmer ranging from 26º C / 78F to 31º C / 87F.
Visibility also varies ranging from 10m / 15ft or less to 30m / 100ft. These conditions change constantly during the year so call us to find out more. The best months to dive are from November to March. There are also some excellent periods in the other months, conditions only tend to change a little more often making it a little less predictable.
You can choose from either a 1, 2 or 3 tank dive. We take you out on our covered panga boat to some beautiful dive sites around Zihuatanejo, Ixtapa or Morros de Potosi. After the first dive we return to the boat to switch for a new tank and complete our surface interval. This is the time when you can enjoy refreshments that we will provide or just sit in the sun and relax a bit. Our staff takes care of getting equipment ready.
The day usually starts at 9 a.m. at the pier. For two dives, you will be back around lunch time between 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. depending on location 2:00-3:00pm for Morros de Potosi. Everything is taken care of for you, all you have to do is meet us on the pier close to the big ZIHUA letters in color. We do recommend you come to the shop a day or 2 prior to your trip to assure best fitting of the equipment.
We have over 30 different dive sites to choose from and all of them have something different to offer. Diving in the Pacific is a very different experience than diving in the Caribbean. Although the water visibility is not usually 100% the health of the water provides for us an amazing array of life. We have coral populations that span the majority of the dive sites and as so are houses for multiple species of fish.
