Certified Scuba Diving (Two Sites)

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

A pristine underwater world awaits when you join in the fun on a 3.5-hour scuba diving adventure through the crystalline waters of the Sea of Cortez off Cabo San Lucas.

Everything you need is provided by Cabo's premier scuba dive center. Meet your experienced guides at the pier and gather your wet suit and gear. A quick walk brings you to the boat, and before you know it you are off!

The Baja Peninsula is the longest peninsula in the world. It lies approximately 30 miles south of the Tropic of Cancer at the point where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean. This unique locale boasts visibility that can exceed 100 feet and marine fauna and flora that are indigenous to both bodies of water, making for a unique diving experience. It's no wonder that ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez the "world's aquarium."

Much of the area is a protected marine sanctuary, home to dramatic corals, sand falls, sponges and bright urchins. There are many dive locales that offer exceptional conditions as well as scenic surroundings. Your captain will choose the best location for the day based on ocean conditions. Highlights include: Land's End, the Sea Lion Colony, the sand falls and Neptune's Finger. Be sure to bring your underwater camera to snap photos of Mother Nature at her best. Angelfish, guitarfish, Mexican goatfish, lobsters, parrotfish, puffers and spotted boxfish all call these waters home. Pods of dolphins and schools of manta rays have also been spotted in the tranquil waters and make diving a pleasure for all levels.

At the conclusion of this wonderful day, enjoy the warm sunshine as you motor back to the dock. Disembark and meet at a photo area to enjoy a refreshing light snack and drink.
