Cabos San Lucas: A Divers Paradise

April 2nd, 2009 olympus Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Cabo San Lucas: A Divers paradise

As an amateur diver, I choose a route of places to dive every year. I include places that are easy to get to and that have the service I need to make sure my dives go smoothly. When I discovered Cabo San Lucas, I had to make this one of my regular “must dive!” places.

One of the greatest things about Cabo is the easy availability of dive shops. They are scattered all over the area and most offer the variety I need, from guided underwater tours to full nine day trips to outlying islands. And, since I crave variety, diving the Sea of Cortez gives me what I need.

Like most people, I do most of my diving in the summer, starting in June and diving all the way through fall, as long as the weather holds and I can see more than a few feet. With visibility up to 100 feet and excellent weather June through December, Cabo’s diving conditions are ideal for my needs.

When you arrive in Cabo, you will find several places to stay just off Medano Beach, within easy walk to any number of the dive shops there. From premiere villas to more economical hotels, visitors of every budget range can find some place to rest between dives. With the local bars and restaurants very friendly to Americans, I find plenty of places to visit and not feel like a stranger.

If you need the training, many vendors there offer PADI courses for beginners as well as advanced divers. This makes it very easy for those who have a non-diving partner (like me) you are trying to indoctrinate into the religion that is diving. From snorkeling to wreck diving, you will find professionals there to help you, whatever your diving needs.

Gear is not an issue either. Dive shops have sprung up all over the Cabo area, where tourists and discriminating divers alike can rent or purchase whatever they need. Although it used to be like a crap shoot regarding finding reliable equipment, the locals are now becoming more focused on giving their customers what they need: friendly service and dependable dive gear.

One of the favorite sights among divers is the Cabo Pulmo Reef, the only living reef remaining on North America’s west coast. The Mexican government established Parque Marino Cabo Pulmo in 1995, and has made great strides in preserving this fantastic example of marine ecosystem. Over 800 species of marine life flourish there, offering the underwater explorer unparalleled opportunities to see fish found nowhere else in the world.

Among my favorite dive spots are Isla Las Aminas which is arguably one of the best dive spots in the Sea of Cortes. Once you get to the island you will find it very diver friendly, and the dive spots easy to find: just pick a spot anywhere around the island for a great dive experience. Caverns abound on the north and east sides of the island, where hammerhead sharks abound. If you’re lucky, you will be able to spy on the occasional whale sharks and manta rays. Night diving allows you the rare opportunity to see giant squid, inhabiting the waters south of the island.

With the variety of tourist-friendly services available, I highly recommend making Cabo San Lucas one of the spots to visit while diving Mexico this year. You can take your whole family and never have a dull moment.
