Private Beginner Scuba Diving Experience in Cabo San Lucas

After a basic lesson, equipment orientation, and shallow-water skills practice, make one dive at a local reef at a comfortable depth of up to 12 meters (40 feet). The itinerary includes the Arch of Cabo San Lucas, and extra tanks are carried in case you want a second dive.

What To Expect
You'll meet your instructor at the dive center in plenty of time to get suited up and ready. At the boat you'll learn some basic concepts of diving and have a detailed equipment orientation. After practicing skills in shallow water, you're ready to explore! You'll be allowed to dive as deep as you are comfortable to a maximum of 12m/ 40ft. If you prefer to stay the depth of a swimming pool and play with the pufferfish, that's absolutely fine!
This is a unique affordable, private experience on a shared boat with a private expert instructor that is dedicated to you. Your instructor will have the time to concentrate on your enjoyment while maintaining our 100% safety record - as well as having better opportunities to find an ABUNDANCE of interesting marine life that lives here in Cabo! We believe small groups with close supervision is the best way to reduce human impact on the reef and truly enjoy the closest wildlife encounters!
Please note: you will be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire to check you are medically fit to dive. If you have high blood pressure, asthma or recent surgeries you would require a Dr to sign off beforehand.
