UNDERWATER RESERVE - SCUBA DIVING TOURS  
The Canyon and the Devil’s Jaw are excellent dive spots for the diver seeking for more adventure below the 60 ft mark. This are 2 of the greatest dive sites in the bay, a vertical wall
down to 600 ft. Drifting along the edge at  depths of 70 to 110 ft you will encounter large schools of jacks and snappers , up to 6 foot green moray eels, octopus, barber fish feeding of
thousands and thousands of eggs laid by giant damsel fish, the enormous titan trigger fish nesting in the sand bottoms, the largest yellow fin surgeon fish in the world and careless
eagle rays hovering on top of the reef biting off nutrients from the rocks and among other species the great pacific mantas are seen very often from June to August
The Aquarium scuba & snorkel
This site provides shallow depths for novice divers It is a perfect warm up diveand is located only a few hundred yards from the rocky  north shore of Mismaloya beach and the bottom is
15 to 40 ft deep, the volcanic rock formations are covered with a decent variety of soft and hard corals, although there are not much coral formations in the area, the amazing amount
of sea life in this ecosystem is impressive.
El Bajo scuba & snorkel
A small  pinnacle  in 30 to 60 ft  deep . Schooling snappers, barracuda, mackerel and parrot fish circle the pinnacle, green turtles and eagle rays,  On the west side of the reef, the
bottom falls rapidly to great depths.
El Paredon scuba & snorkel
This site starts at the south edge of The Canyon in 60 ft of water,  this is a drift dive along the south face of the biggest islet of Los Arcos, it is also a multilevel dive starting at 60 ft and
ending the dive in 20 ft to 25 ft. Very enjoyable dive in which you do not have to turn back and find the boat, the boat fallows the divers until they surface. Very good interaction with
Eagle Rays
El Cañón & La Quijada Del Diablo scuba
Majahuita Punta Norte scuba & snorkel
Commonly a drift dive/snorkel, this site is characterized by its huge boulders, the largest schools of yellow tail surgeon and parrot fish in the area, in this site you will be able to meet
the zebra and golden spotted moray eels, turtles, eagle rays, 4 striped butterflies, cornets, puffers, sergeant Majors, giant damsels, barber fish, groupers and although there are no
cleaning stations on this area, great pacific mantas pass by all of the time.
Majahuita Punta Sur  scuba & snorkel
Punta Norte and Punta Sur is divided by Majahuita beach, a rather small beach no longer than 100 yards, the boat is anchored just a short swimming distance from majahuitas beach,  
the site is unique because of  the hundreds of shy garden eels that live in the sand bottom sticking out half of their bodies just enough to catch the nutrients passing by.
Cerro Bola scuba &snorkel
Very well protected site where the bottom is flat, shallow and perfect for a warm up dive with lots of sea life and colorful fish. This is a very relaxing dive with depths of 20 ft to 35 ft
There are 3 cleaning station in the outer the point often visited by large mantas during the summer months After Chimo, El Morro and Marietas Islands, this is the next best spot to
encounter the great pacific mantas
