EXCITING 2-TANK BOAT DIVE

Roca Elefante and San Luciano, destinations in this 4-hour 2-tank boat dive adventure are just minutes off the shore of Manzanillo, but worlds away in terms of fascinating scuba experiences.

Roca Elefante – translate that to Elephant Rock – is a beautiful underwater landscape that features, at depths up to 50 feet, swim-through crevices, tunnels and arches, coral reefs and a spectacular blow hole (no, folks, this is not it's trunk!) You’ll also be accompanied by – in addition to your qualified PADI instructor with over 13 years experience in Manzanillo waters – dive buddies like the yellowtail surgeonfish (I don’t know what it looks like, either), king angels and several varieties of puffers. Turtles, eagle rays, and seahorses are seen on almost every dive!

You have the hurricane of ’59 to thank for the second half of your 2-tank dive. That severe weather event sunk the 300-foot San Luciano, a 90-year-old cargo steamship, in some 25 feet of beautiful blue Pacific water. While many varieties of fishes abound here, too, there’s the added fun of exploring all the wreck’s nooks and crannies. Based on current diving conditions, your PADI instructor may substitute alternative dive locations to find you the best dives for the day.

This adventure is for Certified divers. It includes all top quality Sherwood equipment, tank fills to 3,000+ PSI, refreshments on board and transportation back to the cruise pier or your hotel.

After your dive, you are welcome to purchase lunch and use the facilities of a nearby beach restaurant, including rentals of jet skis, kayaks and boogie boards. When you're ready to leave, the restaurant staff will be happy to call a taxi (at your expense) for your return to your cruise ship or hotel. Approximate cost back to the ship is $12 per taxi for up to 4 people.
