Diving Majahuitas is as brilliant as the famous Los Arcos but quieter and a bit further from Puerto Vallarta.

Majahuitas is just a short boat ride and promises a less crowded diving site than Los Arcos. This secluded beach area is only accessible by boat and most of the diving takes place along the rock walls there. Moray eels, sea cucumbers, and a variety of rays populate the area and make for a very exotic dive.

Majahuitas is the perfect option for the whole family. The Sierra Madre mountainside extends directly into the ocean forming lovely multi level walls covered in coral growth. Tons of small, tropical life teems the area, with the close shore providing comfort ability to snorkelers and divers.

If time is not a factor, one must consider snorkeling or diving Majahuitas Cove. It offers boat only access to some of the bay's best snorkeling and diving sites year round. The entire south side of the bay is made up of tiny coves that offer excellent conditions for snorkeling and diving. One can literally pick any spot along this coast line and encounter an abundance of small, tropical life feeding off the shallow reefs and rock wall formations.

The drift dive site Majahuitas Punta Norte is characterized by its huge boulders. You will be able to meet the zebra and golden spotted moray eels, yellow tail surgeon fish, turtles, eagle rays, four striped butterfly fish, cornets, puffers, parrot fish, sergeant Majors, giant damsels, cornets, barber fish, groupers and although there are no cleaning stations you will still spot great pacific mantas passing by all of the time.

Punta Norte and Punta Sur are divided by Majahuitas Beach, a rather small beach no longer than 200 meters. Dive and snorkel boats often anchor just a short swimming distance away from this wonderful beach. This dive site is unique because of the hundreds of shy garden eels that live in the sandy bottom sticking out half of their bodies just enough to catch the nutrients passing by.
