Puerto Vallarta snorkeling tours

Chico´s dive shop.

they are a team of professional divers that enjoy subacuatic activities just like you do.
Los Arcos,Majahuitas and Marietas islands.


A few languid kicks is all it takes to propel you on a slow-paced flight above schools of Angels, Jacks, or curtains of Damsels moving in unison to their own, graceful and ever-changing choreography. There is no noise, no taste, no smell; just a heightened visual awareness of the multi-colored diversity that exists in this silent, blue-green world.  At one time or another, most of us have tried snorkeling: Wearing ill-fitting flippers, we have waddled, like penguins, into the sea to survey nothing but acres of sand and a few shells, until the mask filled with water and we gave-up in frustration. It doesn't have to be like that!! let Chico's show you how good it can be.
Whom you choose to guide you is important:

• Only Chico's provides the latest and very best equipment available, together with free instruction, snorkeling clinic and ecological awareness program.
• Only Chico's provides a qualified dive master and an observer for snorkeling parties.
• Only Chico's uses specially-designed, shallow-draught dive boats that take you right into the center of things - no taxing 300 yard swim to and from the snorkeling site.
• Let Chico's, the only Snorkeling Center in Vallarta, show you how a professional approach to snorkeling can make all the difference.
