Diving in/around Cabo San Lucas

[nitedive]

Going to be in Cabo Thanksgiving week. THINKING about lugging my dive gear all the way there from Florida, for 1 day of diving, but not convinced. Does anyone have any good recommendations? I would really prefer not to spend an entire day doing so. Best scenario would be to leave at 11, do 2 dives, and be back by 3.

Very easy to do a couple of really good dives out of cabo. The reef is just a few minutes by boat and there are several sites. I usually dive with my friend that lives there but I've heard Manta divers is pretty good. I always bring my gear but that would be up to you.

Leave your gear at home unless you intend to spend some time and money way offshore. The only close in dives are sandy bottoms and sand slides, with usually poor visibility. I have tried a couple of times to do in shore and consider it to be waste of time. I have had better dives along the Gulf Coast with inlets and jetties.

And THAT's what I thought! Or at least that's what I wanted to believe. Thanks for confirming. Have you ever dove Cabo Pulmo? Looks like a hike. But also just looks like the usual carribbean theme..........

If you're going to dive anywhere in Cabo, make the hike to Cabo Pulmo. We were there in May, did four dives based out of San Jose and drove up to for two dives at Pulmo. I really wish we'd gone to Pulmo for the whole trip.

CP is about the ONLY site that has what could be called reef. The whole area is pretty desolate outside the mounts and that diving is seasonal. The mounts are far and rest under 100ft of water, so it's a water column dive hoping for some sea life. The road to CP is or can be a tough one, but the village is worth a look and be sure to contact the dive ops before hand.
