Dwayne, Alan, Alex, and I had a terrific time diving with you folks the last week of November. Great times.

My Girlfriend and I just went to Cabo San Lucas, Cabo Pulmo, and La Paz for a dive trip. She wrote a pretty great post about the region and the diving there on her blog.

Can you tell me what the dive trips are like in terms of time, scheduling? Are these all, or half day affairs? I'm trying to plan a trip (likkely in August ) with my nondiving wife and looking for a place I can get a dive or two in each day while my wife has a lazy morning or evening, while still having the rest of the day to do stuff together on and off the water. Would Cabo work? Is most of the diving out of La Paz or can I get trips out of San Lucos that would fit?

Cabo would definitely work, lots of dives right in the bay which is only minutes by boat. There are some great dives that are only a half day trip and then some more that are a full day. Very nice restaurants around the water and some nice beach areas.

I really enjoyed cabo. You can see my profile and see where I've dove. Lots of schooling fish, several shallow 40' sites so really nice long dives. Out towards the point has larger life (occasional hammerheads) and great topography. I quick trip by boat, so easy colourful dives, what could be better.

Planning a trip to Cabo in early May. We only have 3 diving days.
It looks like we will be staying in Los Cabos. Not being familiar with the area, does anyone have any suggestions? Dive sites/ops....

Also, what are the water temps in early May.

Any guidance is much appreciated.

We stayed at the Wyndham and did 6 days of diving with Manta Divers. They were great.

For the "local dives", the Cabo Reserve, we'd be in the water for the first dive about 8:45 and for the second dive at about 10:45. Back at the dock by shortly after noon. The Cabo Reserve is just outside the mouth of the harbour, 15 minutes on the boat.

For the dives to the Corridor, we'd be in for the first dive about 9:15 and for the second dive about 11:00. It's a long boat ride out. You are not back until well after 1:00 or so.

Gordon Banks is even further out, first dive 9:45. Back late in the afternoon.

We were typically diving just over an hour, with the exception of Gordo Banks where we kept them to about 50 minutes. We were under no "schedule", but we were being reasonable with them, they do have afternoon and early evening dives to deal with.

We only did two a day, always in the morning. Rest of the day by the pool, in the bar, or enjoying terrific food.
