Awesome Dive Shop! - Wonderful little shop. We did two dives in one day on a private trip—just two divers plus the divemaster, and captain—so you get truly personalized help and attention. There was no rush at all; everything felt unhurried, safe, and well-paced. I paid $205 USD (about 2,500 pesos), which felt more than reasonable for this level of service. Underwater was incredible: thousands (no joke) of fish, two giant mantas, large starfish, urchins, and even a giant turtle—though all we saw was its turtle butt, because it was chilling in a small cave. A really nice extra: they also let you bring friends along at no charge to hang out on the boat, enjoy the ocean, and swim around while we dove. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience from start to finish. Highly recommend—100%. Equipment is well worn but in excellent condition, they clearly have loads of experience and know what they’re doing. Going back for another dive on Tuesday!

Scuba Diving Los Arcos - Amazing. - We did a 2 tank dive at Los Arcos today and had the best time with Lily and family. We got to see some whales right before entering the water so they took us a bit closer to see them (THANK YOU!). The visibility wasn’t great and the water was a bit cold but it was to be expected in late December and on the Pacific side. We will definitely be back to dive with them once the water warms up in the spring. Highly recommend Mismaloya Adventures for your next snorkeling, diving, whale watching, and/or spear fishing excursions. Excited for our whale watching tour next week! Thank you Lily and team. 🙂

Always go with mismaloya adventures 😍 - If you have the opportunity to take a scuba diving tour in the sameloya adventures do not miss it! The service was amazing and we felt super comfortable with Lily, her dad and her whole team. They were super friendly and attentive throughout. Lily took care of our safety at all times, warned us whenever she saw any species in the dive and gave us our time. Still when we arrived we were offered some ceviche toast that was delicious!!! Definitely the Best Service 🤩
