Zihuatanejo Bay offers a number of dive sites with something for everyone, from beginners to advanced divers. Las Gatas ('The Cats' for the cat sharks that once lived here), protected from the waves by a man-made reef, is beautiful for snorkeling and watching turtles and other rare species. At Pango, the deepest site in the Bay, you can observe rays courting in the winter months.

Fandango is a sunken boat broken in half, populated by a variety of invertebrates and seahorses. Please do not touch the boat's structure and be careful of loose lines.

Run your mouse pointer over the dive flags for a quick preview of the bay.
