Boca Divers - Puerto Vallarta - Dive Sites & Location Map

Puerto Vallarta is part of the beautiful Bahia de Banderas (or Bay of Flags), on the Mexican Riviera. It serves as host to the curious giant manta rays, the magnificent humpback whale, loggerhead and green turtles (to name some), and also our year-round guests, the bottlenose dolphin. There is a fascinating variety of tropical fish - among them the angelfish, sergeant major, damsel fish, parrot fish, trigger fish and many more.

***Los Arcos***
	LOS ARCOS NATIONAL UNDERWATER PARK... Distance from Boca Divers.... 5 - 10 minutes.

A great dive experience day or night from 30 to 120 feet.

So where is BOCA DIVERS?

BOCA DIVERS is located in "Boca de Tomatlan", an authentic fishing village of rustic character, nestled in a sandy cove, only 10 miles (16 kms.) south of downtown Puerto Vallarta...

Just head south, to Boca de Tomatlan, or approx. 20 minutes from downtown Vallarta. We are located on the south-side of the main street, (Pelicanos) half-way down the hill... you can't miss us.

There are several means of transportation to Boca, but perhaps the easiest and least expensive is to just hop the "Mismaloya-Boca" bus, off the corner of Basili-Badillo & Constitucion (which runs every 15 minutes, from 6 a.m. til 11 p.m. daily) - and simply enjoy the panoramic ocean view. COME ENJOY IT !
