About this dive site
Puerto Vallarta's signature sunken yacht on a sandy bottom.
The Princesa Vallarta lies as an artificial reef within day-boat range of Puerto Vallarta with schooling fish and occasional rays on the hull. Surge and visibility vary with Pacific swell. Exterior tours suit advanced divers; penetration only with wreck training.
Princesa Vallarta visibility follows Pacific swell; surge on the deck can be strong on windy afternoons.
