My girlfriend and I got SCUBA certified through Chico's and while it wasn't a horrible experience, it could have been better. First thing to note is that Chico's, like many other establishments in PV, wants to be paid in cash. That's a minor hassle but it's best to be prepared; you can bargain with them if you have cash, not... more

The hotel my wife and I stayed at during our honeymoon had a little booth for Chico's Dive Shop. However we decided kind of spur of the moment we wanted to go snorkeling, so we booked our trip at their office on the Malecon. They were very friendly and helpful. I'm glad we had brought our own masks and snorkels,... more

My husband and I went to Puerto Vallarta for our honeymoon. Neither one of us had been snorkeling before therefore we have nothing else to compare it too. With that being said, we booked a snorkeling tour with Chico’s Dive Shop. We were told that it was easy to get there since it was located on the boardwalk just up... more

Worth the boat ride. Nice view from the water of the city. The snorkling was great. Go EARLY to avoid the crowds!!!!! We used Chico's dive shop instead of a Hotel excursion. They were good, but the lunch provided was just bread and meat. more

There were loads of tropical fish and other sea life for snorkelers to see. Divers saw even more amazing creatures. I would highly recommend this snorkeling spot. Just watch out for the jellyfish! more

Lots to see if you're diving off Los Arcos. I was in the water only about 10 minutes before i saw a giant turtle. Tons of wild life. All sorts of good stuff to see. Its a great place to go considering that the LAS MARIETAS ISLANDS are a good 30 minute boat ride away from the marina. more
