Scuba
Diving and Snorkeling
|
|
| One would think that,
with the three unusual rock formations off shore
at either end of the Zona Dorada, there would be
more interest in diving. Most establishments that
cater to watersport equipment in general now offer
equipment and some excursions. Try Caravelle
Beach Club (Ph: 69/13-02-00) or Ocean Sports
Center (Ph: 69/13-11-11).

| A city that boasts
a giant monument to fisherman (hard to miss on Av.
del Mar) has a sizable fishing fleet available to
compadres from other lands. Most can be found south
of the lighthouse and include Bill Hemple's Star
Fleet (Ph: 69/82-26-65), Perla Fleet
(Ph: 69/81-72-71) and Bibi Fleet (Ph: 69/81-36-40).
Charters usually include crew, bait, tackle and
food. |

|
| Most hotels are wonderfully
equipped with every possible piece of watersport
equipment including Hobie Cats and windsurfers.
Nowhere is this more evident than at the massive
(in size and amenities) El Cid Resort with
its own Aqua Sport Center (Ph: 69/13-33-33)
|
|
|
|
|
| Between the hotels
and clubs there are over 100 tennis courts available.
Though guests have priority, most hotels are worth
a try, especially the El Cid Resort (Ph:
69/13-33-33) with 13 courts. The Racquet Club
Gaviotas, Ibis and Rio Bravo (Ph: 69/13-59-39)
has 6 courts and the Club de Tenis Reforma
(Ph: 69/83-12-00) has 8 courts.

|
|
| Once again, the
El Cid Resort (Ph: 69/13-33-33) comes in as
first choice where any combination of two of the
three sets of nine holesmakes for a satisfying round.
Just outside of town is the Club Campestre de
Mazatlan (Ph: 69/80-02-02).

|
| Strictly as a spectator
sport! Known as Charreadas - a very impressive show
of skill and showmanship. Association of Charros
of Mazatlan (69/83-3154) or contact your hotel's
front desk or travel agency. |
