Scuba Diving In Zihuatanejo Mexico at Solitary Rock
Stepping into his well-equipped and comfortable dive boat with his experienced captain, we left the pier and headed out to our first dive site known as – Solitary Rock.
On the way, Joao reviewed safety procedures for our dive, and what we could expect to see at this very popular deep dive site.
Dive Zihua Owner Operator Joao
Solitary Rock located about 1 ½ kilometers offshore, and is known as one of the more popular dive sites in this area.
This location has an abundance of sea life including; eagle rays, 🐢 turtles, stonefish and seahorses.
The weather was perfect, seas were calm and I was very excited about diving for the first time in this part of Mexico!
Solitary Rock Dive Location
The water was incredibly clear, and the ocean temperature was over 25 degrees Celsius. Almost too warm with our light wet suits on!
Getting set for Diving Solitary Rock
During the dive, Joao pointed out the different varieties of sea life, including a beautiful eagle ray who decided to follow along with us.
He also showed us camouflaged stone fish along the way. Amazing!
With huge schools of 🐠 fish surrounding the island, this was a perfect dive and one not to be forgotten any time soon!
Down We Go!
For the entire dive, Joao continually checked on us, ensuring that we were comfortable and enjoying the dive at all times.
A true measure of his professionalism!
A Perfect Dive on a Beautiful Sunny Day!
Scuba Diving At Zihuatanejo Lighthouse
Our second dive was near the Zihuatanejo Lighthouse, situated along the shores of a calm bay.
This was a lovely spot and a shallower dive among the coral reefs surrounding the …
Again, our dive master pointed out another eagle ray curious of us, and a very large moray eel swimming between the rocks.
We enjoyed a variety of 🐠 tropical colored fish among the coral, making this a relaxed second dive in the calm bay.
