Dive Adventures Los Cabos

Dive Adventures Los Cabos operates from the shores of Playa El Medano in Cabo San Lucas, serving as a base for both local reef diving and long-range expeditions. The centre is positioned to access a variety of marine environments, ranging from the sheltered bays of the San Lucas area to the deep-water pelagic encounters of the Pacific.

For those looking beyond the immediate coastline, the centre organises trips to significant marine sites including the Revillagigedo Archipelago and Cabo Pulmo. Whether you are looking to complete your first certification or are pursuing a professional career in diving, the centre provides the logistical support required for both day trips and extended adventures.

The team consists of experienced instructors providing instruction in both English and Spanish. They manage a range of PADI programmes, ensuring that the transition from recreational diving to professional training is handled with technical precision.

As a centre affiliated with PADI, they offer a structured progression through the various certification levels. Their involvement with DAN and PSI-PCI inspection standards indicates a focus on operational safety and industry compliance.

The training catalogue covers the full spectrum of PADI certifications. Beginners can start with the PADI Discover Scuba Diving programme or work through the PADI Open Water Diver course.

Advanced divers can progress through the PADI Advanced Open Water and PADI Rescue Diver courses. For those looking to enter the professional ranks, the centre offers the PADI Divemaster programme. Nitrox certification is also available to enhance dive planning capabilities.

The centre provides Nitrox for divers looking to extend their bottom time on multi-dive days. For those travelling without a full rig, a variety of rental equipment is available on-site.

During snorkeling excursions, the centre provides snacks and drinks for participants on board. The main base is conveniently located at Playa El Medano, providing easy access to the water.

The region is renowned for its encounters with large pelagics. You can expect to see various shark species, including the scalloped hammerhead shark (Sphyrna), Silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis), and the Tiger shark. Other notable visitors include the hammerhead sharks (Sphyrnidae) and the occasional Bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas).

In the open water, you will encounter fast-moving species such as Wahoo (Acanthocybium solandri), Tuna (Thunnus), and various schools of trevallies (Carangidae). Dolphins (Delphinidae) and Manta rays (Mobula alfredi) are also part of the local marine landscape.

Seasonal visitors include the Humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), which can be observed from November to April.

On the reef and around the rocky structures, look for Jack (Carangidae), Barracuda, and various Grouper (Epinephelinae) species. The ecosystem is supported by a variety of corals and other fixed life that provide habitat for the resident fish populations.

Divers should be aware of specific regulations when visiting the Revillagigedo National Park. The park rules strictly prohibit the use of knives, gloves, and dive torches, except for those attached to a camera unit. Additionally, night diving is not permitted within this protected area.
