    My girlfriend and I went with Dive Cabo to finish her open water certification. I’m a rescue diver with many years of experience but this was her first time diving. Our guide Luca as well as the rest of the staff were incredible to work with! The dive shop was easy to find, great to work with ahead of time, and showed us an amazing time. I would highly recommend them for divers of all levels. We look forward to coming back soon!

    My son and I needed to do our in-water portion of our Advanced Open Water Diver certification and were very happy that we signed up with Cabo Private Guide! Ophelia was an absolutely OUTSTANDING instructor - super patient and thorough with the material. She was very constructive both in and out of the water in helping us with our dive technique and making sure we understood everything going on.

    Cabo Private Guide is very different than other dive 'operators' in Cabo - you go with your own... Private Guide! Boats are nicely equipped, and while there might be 1-2 other groups on your boat - it's just you and your divemaster/instructor in the water together. PHENOMENAL experience. A+++ can't recommend highly enough, we'll definitely be back and will dive with Cabo Private Guide again!

    Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Had a great time and would definitely do again. Only had 1 shark show at the tail end of our trip. But that one was awesome! Loved this!

    Sorry this review is so delayed, but WOW! I did the mobula ray expedition as well as a 2 tank dive in Cabo with Dive Ninja Expeditions. I don't know where to begin as every part of this trip was perfect. Baja California Sur is probably one of my favorite places in the world in that you can be surprised every day by what you see. I wanted to write this review though to say why you need to dive with Dive Ninjas if you go to BCS.

    I've dove all over the world from the Galapagos, Indonesia, French Polynesia, Africa, etc... The most important thing to me in a dive center is a center that focuses on responsible eco tourism. Being able to experience the underwater world is an honor and a privilege and we should always try to leave it better than when we found it (or at the very least, no worse).

    Dive Ninjas is the embodiment of this. They were the first PADI Eco center in Mexico and one of the first three in the world. They were also the first Green Fins Member in Mexico. I mention this because expeditions like the mobula rays in BCS are becoming more popular so it is important to see this spectacle respectfully. The owner, Jay Clue, is also an OnlyOne Ambassador so conservation is paramount to their focus.

    The trip itself was absolutely incredible. From the organization, to the accommodations, the staff, it was all fantastic. The group leader was Donna. She is unbelievable. She explains all the expectations of the trip and how to get in and out of the water to give you the best chance of having memorable interactions with the rays. She also had the challenge of keeping me alive as I'm allergic to dairy and nuts and she went above and beyond. Seriously, always made sure there were snacks on the boat for me, at the house, etc... truly went above and beyond.

    The chef and food was fantastic. They pair up with a local marine biologist that helps explain behaviors of the rays, challenges the area faces, as well as ongoing projects going on. We had Martha Palacios and she was fantastic.

    As for the underwater experience, holy cow. Truly mind blowing. We had multiple days where we were swimming with literally thousands of mobula rays for over two hours at a time! There is truly nothing like it. We were also fortunate enough to swim with dolphins, see humpback whales, some in our group saw whale sharks. The list goes on. Again, BCS will not disappoint.

    This is 100% the company to choose for anything Baja California Sur. Thank you to everybody at Dive Ninjas! You guys are truly amazing. I will definitely be back for the mobula rays, and you'll also see me on your other expeditions as well. Sorry, you're stuck with me. You guys are the best!

    Went out with Felipe for a morning session to see sharks. He was informative about the conservation efforts to save the shark population, safety measures when swimming with sharks, and the most common species of sharks seen in Cabo and their typical behaviors. They ‘chummed’ for about 45 minutes when we had 2 sharks show. We saw a total of 4 sharks that day and swam with 3. What an awesome day with people who have a passion for ocean wildlife and sharing it with others. Thanks Felipe!

    Highly recommend Tato. We had a wonderful experience. Borga was gentle, highly attentive and patient (have trouble equalizing), focused on safety, our enjoyment, seeing as much as possible and having fun. It was truly a VIP experience.

    Highly recommend Apex Ocean Divers! Very professional and so knowledgeable about all the marine life. They work hard to ensure you have a good experience. We had Phillip as our tour guide and he was friendly, personable and knowledgeable. Will be back for sure for another expedition.

    Unbelievable service by Juan Pablo and his drivers!! Gracias, gracias, gracias! We will never use another service when we come to Cabo. We had three different pickups and two returns and all of them went super smooth. Thank you Juan Pablo, and people will have to be crazy to use someone else.

    We had an awesome five days of shark safari with Latitude Encounters. We had Blue Sharks each day and Mako Sharks on two of the days. The staff at Latitude encounters are fun and professional. The boat was perfect for such activities. Safety is their number one concern, along with conservation of the beautiful animals that they take you to see. We came to Latitude Encounters for the first time as customers and we left as friends. We will certainly return in the future. I highly recommend Latitude encounters for such adventures!

    This is the best shark experience you can get in Cabo.
    The boat is very confortable and Evans is soo passionate about the sharks. You won't get back to the harbour as long as you don't see the sharks or you're not lucky at all!
    We spent 2 full days in the sea to see silky sharks, blue , mako and lot of whales breaching and on both days!
    The crew makes it very safe so I'd recommend to anyone.
    Thanks Evans and captain Miguel!
    I'll definitely coming back!

    My experience with Nina was absolutely amazing! We saw so many whales! This is my second trip to hire Nina and she will always be our guide when we come! She is incredibly knowledgeable and everytime I’m out in the area I notice the other boats all follow her lead! She loves the whales like family and it shows! I brought two other scuba instructor friends with me and my 2 daughters and we had an unforgettable day! We saw something close to 16 whales! We got an audio of some of the dolphins and we got to see a new baby being pushed up by its mother to breathe! We loved our time with Nina!! ❤️❤️

    ¡Mi experiencia con Nina fue absolutamente increíble! ¡Vimos tantas ballenas! ¡Este es mi segundo viaje para contratar a Nina y ella siempre será nuestra guía cuando vengamos! Ella tiene un conocimiento increíble y cada vez que estoy en el área noto que los otros barcos siguen su ejemplo. Ella ama a las ballenas como si fueran de su familia y ¡se nota! Traje a otros dos amigos instructores de buceo conmigo y mis dos hijas y ¡pasamos un día inolvidable! ¡Vimos algo cerca de 16 ballenas! ¡Recibimos un audio de algunos de los delfines y pudimos ver a un nuevo bebé siendo empujado por su madre para respirar! ¡Nos encantó nuestro tiempo con Nina! ❤️❤️

    What an awesome trip. The wildlife in Socorro is unparalleled and only a day away from Cabo. Water was cooler at 23-25C for the week. The boat has a very large camera table and is perfectly suited for divers.

    Naty inside and Ivan diving are both amazing at what they do. I don’t think Naty ever slept. She was an awesome bartender and her hard work shows. Ivan the instructor has a perfect sense of humor while still having safety at this core. He was a great dive guide that pointed out all the animals and knows these reefs well.

    The boat is a little dated and small but well taken care of and had everything we needed it to.

    I would be happy to book the Solmar V again in the future.

    Very reliable and resourceful for all our needs. We use the three brothers to book activities in Cabo. They have found us great deals on boating excursions.

    Just got done marking swimming sharks and seeing a whale off of my bucket list. Fern the guide was great. She is very knowledgeable about all marine life and was very confident that we would be safe. I never felt threatened by the sharks at all. I recommend this for everyone!
