Baja Shark Experience

Established in 2017, Baja Shark Experience operates from the Cabo San Lucas Marina, providing a specialised approach to ocean exploration. This boutique centre focuses on responsible marine encounters, specifically targeting the diverse shark populations found within the Sea of Cortez.

Beyond standard diving, the operation is deeply integrated into marine conservation. They collaborate with scientific researchers to monitor shark behaviour and the overall health of the local ecosystems, ensuring that every excursion contributes to a deeper understanding of the environment.

The team at Baja Shark Experience is comprised of professional, passionate divers dedicated to ethical wildlife interaction. They prioritise small group sizes to ensure a personalised experience and to minimise the impact on the marine life being observed.

Instruction and guidance are conducted in English, Spanish, and French. This multilingual approach is particularly useful for the bespoke expeditions and professional filming trips they organise for international clients.

The centre offers a range of training programmes through PADI, covering both Scuba Diving and Freediving. Whether you are looking to start with basic certifications or pursue more advanced skills, the curriculum is designed to meet professional standards.

The operation utilizes a 35-foot Contender, powered by twin 300hp Yamaha engines to navigate the waters of the Sea of Cortez. This vessel is well-equipped for extended trips, featuring a fully shaded deck, a dry cabin, and comfortable seating areas.

On board, you will find convenient amenities including toilets and dedicated storage compartments for your kit. The boat is designed to support both daily excursions and more intensive, custom-made expeditions.

The area is a premier location for observing large pelagics. You can expect to encounter Shortfin mako sharks during their peak season, alongside Blue sharks, Silky sharks, and Hammerhead sharks. You may also see Mobula rays, Dolphins, Orcas, and Whales.

In certain seasons, the waters support a significant presence of Whale sharks and Marlin. The presence of Mexican sardine runs also plays a vital role in the local food web, attracting much of the larger megafauna.

The ecosystem is further enriched by various species including Blue sharks and Hammerhead sharks, making it a significant area for marine biologists and photographers alike.
