Unforgettable diving - Staff was amazing especially Pablo! He was an easy going guy with great stories, advice, and very skilled in diving. I had a great time and enjoyed learning to become a certified diver! Highly recommend diving with them and learning how to dive with them as the whole crew is full of fun loving people.

Excellent service - The attention of cobbling together with your diving equipment was very good, always attentive to any questions or needs you had. Together with the staff of the boat was excellent.

Great diving team - The course started with half a day in the pool to practice handling the equipment underwater. Two more days we deepened the basic training in open water. I learned the theory on my own and repeated the most important points with the Dive Instructor before the dive. While diving Patricia and Pablo accompanied and trained me alternately in the open water. The instructions were directly communicated and clear. Also the whole crew on the dive boat is helpful and courteous. I highly recommend the course.

Cabo Adventures open water diver certification - I got certified here 2 years ago and thought enough of my instructor that I just brought my 16 year old son down here. He got certified today. Thank you so much Armondo Perea! You are knowledgeable, thorough and I will continue to put my trust in you. 100% recommend scuba certification through you and Cabo Adventures.

PADI Open Water Cert with Armando and Brandon - Amazing experience overall, started day 1 in a small pool and the next day we were in the ocean. Armando and Brandon were 10/10 instructors, made it very easy to learn and were great guides when we went out into the ocean. They really instilled confidence, made the whole course enjoyable and never once felt stressed. We saw sharks, rays, lots of fish and a shipwreck.

Get certified here!! - This was my first diving experience ever and it couldn’t have been better! Brandon and Armando are fantastic instructors, and the training and the knowledge they provided was outstanding. The first day of the course was in a pool, and I felt confident with going to dive sites in the ocean on the following days. The dive sites were beautiful and was lucky to see the marine life we did - lots of fish, rays, even a shark! The whole crew on the boat was also great with helping out with gear set up and lots of fun to be with. Such a fun experience! The highlight of my time in Cabo. Would recommend to anyone thinking about getting certified!

Amazing certification experience with Cabo Adventures! - We had a great experience pursuing our PADI certification at Cabo Adventures! Right from the start the communication and planning process was very clear and prompt. Armando and Brandon were excellent teachers, mentors, and guides to the world of scuba, and we felt privileged to study under their leadership. We had one confined water dive and two open water and everything was smooth and well organized. During our dives, in addition to completing the training, we saw a ton of fish, explored a shipwreck and swam to some great reefs. A truly amazing experience that we will carry forward for a lifetime. In fact, we were so impressed with Cabo Adventures, that we booked a snorkel trip with another friend through the company. Highly recommend this company for your adventures in Cabo!

WOW! That’s says it all! - What an amazing time!!! We had zero experience before starting this course. The training was outstanding and our nerves faded fast. We left feeling very confident and are ready for the next dive. The entire dive staff at Cabo Adventures is top notch. Armando is an amazing instructor. We had so much fun. Thank you! We can’t wait to return.

Experience 10/10, HIGHLY recommended! - I decided to take my Padi Open Water Diver course with Cabo Adventures because I had received good comments from local people and the price seemed excellent. Furthermore, the pelican stone is the perfect setting for this adventure. It's November and the water was warm and with incredible visibility. I felt very accompanied by the staff, safe and calm. Armando guided me through the entire process, always making sure I understood the instructions and inspiring confidence in myself and them during the dives. The diving equipment is in very good condition and the boat is super comfortable. I thank everyone for their good energy and support, especially Armando, Brandon, Paty, Arturo and Nelson.
