Puerto Vallarta Mantas

[nwarainbw]

I will be diving in PV aug 12th - 19th and was hoping some one could tell me the site with the best chance of seeing Mantas there? Maybe Diver Dennis? or another PV diver? Just an open water newbie so the more advanced sites might be out of my comfort zone.

The Marietas Islands. Closer to Punta de Mita.

Yes, the Marietas is a good place to see Mantas and you may well see some on the way out there. Not difficult to dive there so you will be fine. There are also a couple of sites along the coast on the way to Yelapa, mostly easy diving as well.

the info. I have Marrietas scheduled allready so maybe I will get lucky and get to see them.

I think and heard Majahuitas is good for mantas but in winter

Do you already have diving arragements there? I can probbably hook you up there.

have reservations with Ocean Quest. We went out with them last time we were down there and had a great time with Klaus...very much the character.. I may also try and get in a dive with Twin Dolphins if possible because of all the positive reviews they get on here, but not sure about that yet.

I have seen mantas on most outings in PV. Las Marietas is a great place to see them as well as other "critters". Winter is the time when you will get the Giant Mantas though. The water is simply too warm for them this time of year. Enjoy your trip and SAFE DIVING! ... If you end up at Twin Dolphins, tell Giovanni that Cathy from Chicago said "HOLA" !!
