Cabo Pulmo Dive House is situated in the heart of the Cabo Pulmo National Marine Reserve, one of Mexico's most significant coral reef ecosystems. This protected area is renowned for its high density of marine life and healthy reef structures, providing a playground for both reef exploration and deeper dives.
Since its establishment in 2021, the centre has focused on delivering guided dives that respect the delicate balance of the reserve. Whether you are looking to complete your first certification or exploring the local reefs as a seasoned diver, the proximity to the reserve's best sites ensures minimal transit time and maximum bottom time.
The centre is led by Angel Salcedo, an experienced PADI instructor who has been active in the diving community since 2002. His background as a senior technician in industrial diving brings a high level of technical oversight and safety awareness to the operation.
Instruction is conducted in both English and Spanish, making the centre accessible to international divers. To maintain a high standard of safety and personal attention, the centre operates with a strict ratio of no more than six divers per guide.
