Howard and I did five dives in the Cabo San Lucas area. Our dive master, organizer and driver was Adriana Manjarrez a young woman from Mexico City who has set up as a private diving service. Her Company is Saba Diving. Highly recommended!
The first day we did two shore dives at Bahia Santa Maria on the coast between San Jose and Cabo San Lucas. The water was warm and the visibility was near 100 ft.
See underwater pictures of what we saw.
The second day we drove to Cabo Pulmo, about two hours toward La Paz and did three dives. All of them were great. On the first dive we went looking for white tip sharks. We didn’t see them but we did see a school of Manta Rays. There were perhaps fifty of them about two feet across all swimming together. It was awesome.
The second dive was one of the most spectacular dives I have ever had. We dove with sea lions. They played near us looked us in the eye and swam so fast it made our heads spin. A big male examined us carefully and decided that we weren’t a threat so he hung face down in the water and just watched.
I’d love to go back to Cabo Pulmo and spend a few days visiting all of the sites there. This is the harbor:
