Discover Mancora's underwater world on a guided scuba session with hotel pickup along the northern coast strip, pier briefing, progressive descent among reefs and marine life, then a debrief and hotel return.
Morning hotel pickup gathers divers from Mancora, Pocitas, Vichayito or Punta Sal for transfer to a nearby pier. Meet instructors and assistants, then complete an induction on safety, equipment and the dive plan before entering the water.
Descend progressively to explore reefs and marine life, with depths typically around 5m for beginners and deeper options for experienced divers when conditions allow. From July to October you may hear whales along the coast when they are present, though wildlife is never guaranteed.
After the dive, debrief on the surface and transfer back to your hotel. Bring swimwear, towel and sun protection, and tell the team your experience level so coaching matches the group.
Mancora and neighbouring beaches sit on Peru's warm northern coast, with pier access to nearby dive sites and artificial reefs. The setting suits travellers already based along the Mancora to Punta Sal strip.

Beginners are welcome with instructor support after the briefing. You should be comfortable in the ocean and able to follow underwater signals.
Share any certification and recent dive experience with the team so depth plans stay appropriate. Ask before travel if you have medical questions related to diving.
