I was very pleases with Manta Divers. My daughter did her first ocean dives on that trip(she was certified in a quarry, Dutch Springs). They were great with her. I did 6 dives she did 4 and we had a great time!

Hello divers. I have dove with all the shops in cabo.But i like Baja Dive the best. They have a 40 foot boat that has a full hard top and lots of room.The Dive masters speak English and are very good at there Job.also great rental gear and small groups 4 or 5 divers per Dive Master.
They are located in the Tesoro Los Cabos Resort on the Marina Boardwalk.They have been there 15 or so years.

Does anyone know of any shops that give volume discounts?
I’ll be down next week with my kids and we are looking to dive 3 or 4 days.
Should we book with one shop or look at individual shops for individual days?

Hello divers. Baja Dive will give discounts. I Dive With Baja Dive because I always get great service and they have a big boat and arrange private tours with your own Dive Master.I like this because were not rushed and can custom plan a Dive thats right for our experence level.

You can check with these guys Cabo San Lucas Scuba Diving - Scuba Diving Cabo San Lucas - Amigos del Mar. I have gone with Manta and Amigos. Like Amigos because of where I stay when in Cabo. Everything is negotiable in Mexico.

I use Amigos del Mar most times that I go to Cabo. They are located close to the Finisterra, Playa Grande and SolMar. They have their boat right on the docks close to the cruise ship pier and the Dolphin Experience. I would check out their website and email or call Kevin to ask RE a discount.

I'm planning my first diving vacation for July.

We've selected Cabo for various reasons. The Intercontinental Presidente was highly recommended, but after reading this post I'm interested in using Amigos del Mar or Manta for diving and the Presidente is about 20 miles away.

The girls will stay at the beach and I want to be sure the resort is a really nice place for them. My question is does anyone have experience with Finisterra or can you recommend something that's as nice as the Presidente and a little closer to Amigos / Manta?

Thanks in advance...

I have experience with Playa Grande (next door to Finesterra). It's a nice location because you don't really need a taxi or car to get around the town(Cab fares aren't cheap going from Cabo to the Corridor). The beach is private, but no swimming because of the current. Nice pool area to hang out at if your into baking in the sun. You can contact the resort and they will probably put you in a studio, or you can go to www.sellmytimesharenow.com(rental section) and rent from a timeshare owner a 1 or 2 bedroom at either the Resort or The Ridge(ridge will have view of marina) and save quite a bit of money.

My recommendation is the Ridge at Playa Grande. You can walk to Amigos del Mar (3-5 min) and the Main dock and Marina is another minute or two from there. Manta is located on the opposite side of the Marina(water taxi) by Medano beach, also known as No Gracious beach...lots of vendors...

Enjoy your stay wherever you end up staying...

I dove with Amigos del Mar in December 08 and even though it was not bad, I would hope that there are better shops out there. The boat we were on was in bad shape (taking water) and the DM was not very good (we took a class). The location was convenient though. Also I didn't like that the DM was touching the wild life (but that is just me).
