Discover Scuba Course

This one day scuba class will have you one-on-one with an instructor, scuba diving at lower depths either at Playa Las Manchas beach, or from their boat. It doesn’t get you certified at scuba, but it’s a great way to try it out to see if you like it enough to go for the full course. It’s also super fun.

This course includes two tanks and two dives. The first will be in the pool and the second in the ocean.

Price: $150

Two Tank Dive “Local”

You will be picked up at your Montezuma hotel or rental villa and taken to the boat in Tambor. The dives will be in the Tambor area, as shown here: Tambor Scuba Sites. All equipment, as well as some snacks, drinks and fruit will be included.

Total time: Approximately 4 hours.

Price: $120

Two Tank Dive at Tortuga Island:

After being picked up from your accommodations, you’ll be transported to the boat and will be headed across Bahia Ballena northwards towards Tortuga Island. If you like, you’ll be able to do a bit of fishing along the way. There’s also a pretty good chance of see whales, especially between August and January. If you like, they will also stop at one of the pretty white sand beaches that are remote and nearly inaccessible except from the sea.

The diving at the Tortuga Islands is great, and if you have snorkelers in your group, they can come along as well. If you’re into seeing sleeping sharks, one of the dives, El Cueva (The Cave) often has some white tips in it. There’s also a drift dive and several others, including a wreck dive!

Price: $160 If a friend would like to come along just to snorkel and see Tortuga Island, it’s an extra $50.
