About
Zihuatanejo Dive Center is a small dive shop in the La Madera neighbourhood of downtown Zihuatanejo, on Mexico's Pacific coast (Guerrero state). The team runs daily two-tank boat dive trips around the coral reefs and islands of the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo bay, showing off the area's varied marine life. For non-divers they offer snorkeling boat trips to the Playa Manzanillo reef, surf lessons for beginners, and, during the humpback whale migration season (December to April), whale-watching tours where dolphins and seabirds are also commonly seen. For experienced technical divers, the center organizes deep wreck dives on the Quetzalcoatl, a sunken Mexican navy ship off the Michoacan coast. The shop is open daily from 9am, with shorter Sunday hours.
