Private Discover Scuba Diving in Cabo San Lucas
If you are over the age of 10 and are medically fit to dive then you can sign up for our private PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience program. This is not a license! Just an opportunity to learn some skills and techniques needed for diving down to 40ft.
Here in Cabo San Lucas we have the perfect reef for this activity! The descent is on a shallow sandy bottom in an area roped off from boat traffic. The sloping sandy bottom gradually deepens where fish schools naturally congregate on one of two sides of a pinnacle and it’s possible just to sit in the sand at 25 feet and enjoy. If you are feeling adventurous we can swim a little way around the reef and enjoy the deeper side to 40ft.

What you will see on a beginner dive in Los Cabos
Once you have had your briefing and you don your equipment, the diving instructor will help you into the water where you will find a shallow spot/descent line for skills practice.
After you have completed the necessary skills, as outlined below, we will start our dive. You can immediately expect to see lots of puffer fish because they like to swim over the sandy area where we descend. With them we often see Mexican hogfish hanging around hoping for a bit of mollusk kicked up by your fins as we travel to the main pinnacle.
Once at the pinnacle, it’s common to see eels, octopus, brightly coloured sea slugs, small crustaceans, and California cup coral brightening up the pinnacle wall. Tropical fish include the Cortez angelfish which likes to come and say hello as close to your nose as possible and the king angelfish which eats your exhaled bubbles above your head.
Other crowd-pleasers include the long trumpetfish and the big schools of snapper, goatfish and grunts. We have had some larger surprises such as sea lions, large rays, schooling mobula rays, small reef sharks, and turtles!
Try scuba diving in Cabo before starting your certification
A beginner scuba dive incorporates some of the skills needed for the PADI Open Water course. You can actually count one introduction dive towards your license – as long as you continue your scuba journey with us!
These skills are performed after a detailed briefing and knowledge theory review with your instructor. To make sure you understand some basic concepts of the science of diving as well as learning hand signals and other necessary information required to the PADI standards.
