Scuba Diving in Acapulco

Scuba Diving in Acapulco

The underwater landscape of Acapulco has a wide diversity that includes caves, walls, sunken ships and rocky reefs. November to May is considered the best season to dive because the sea conditions in the Pacific are calmest and the pelagic species are most easily seen during these months, beside divers have the chance of spotting the rare whale shark or even a migratory whale; however, visibility is not very good for the plankton blooms. 

The average water temperature is approximately 24ºC (75ºF). The visibility changes from one day to another because of the water currents, though the average visibility is from 18 to 38 feet (5 to16 meters). June to October the visibility is at its peak and the water warms significantly, reaching 75°F (24°C), especially during August and September. 

There are about 20 or so sites, for every level of diver.
