We picked the only cloudy day of the week to go out snorkeling on a Vallarta Adventures boat. The crew on the boat was outstanding. They kept things really "alive". They were fun and very entertaining. But also they provided excellent service on the boat and were very watchful and informative about safety issues. I cut my knee on the... More

Thorough, Patient, safety first, last and always They made sure my first ocean dive was fun and full of wonderful things to see. Even though I had a panic attack, the dive master helped me to regain my composure and stay down with the others on the dive. I am so glad that I did this. More

The staff was nice and seemed knowledgeable, however they took us our in extremely murky water. It was hard to see anything, and it was not a great first time scuba diving experience. More

Dove 2x at Las Matietas. Dive crew excellent. Dive plan communicated, safety oriented. Not so impressed with the 'party' crew bring puking, seasick, hungover (?) patrons to divers' area of the vessel where we had to watch them throw up in plastic bags. Smell was nauseating. Also unimpressed with the many people (middle aged adults mostly - non divers) who... More
