Vallarta Under the Sea (vallartaundersea.com.mx) is seven miles from the Grand Mayan and has daily dive trips leaving from Marina Vallarta; the tours include all necessary equipment and lunch. Chico's Dive Shop (chicos-diveshop.com) takes divers out on a half-day tour that includes stops at the Puerto Vallarta Underwater Reserve.
