- U7954IOlaurah0 contributionsWould go againAbsolutely amazing day from pick up to drop off! We had the best driver- Gil who embraced trying new candy, took us to an amazing ice cream shop on the way back and told us about what we were seeing on the drive. Saul our snorkelling guide had already been out in the morning to find the best spots for us to go as it was very windy the day we were there. He showed us 4 turtles and pointed out so many fish along the way. We never felt rushed during the swim and we felt well prepared for anything. We made fast friends with other on the trip and had just an amazing day.Written October 14, 2024

We arranged via email with Armando scheduling our open water certification for me, my husband, and 12 year old son. It was easy and efficient. They picked us up each morning of the course (first day was in the pool, and two other days were open water dives). We did the PADI online course beforehand. We thoroughly enjoyed having Alex from Tennessee be our instructor. He was knowledgeable, laid-back, and very attentive. We did three dives at Pelican Rock then the fourth dive at Lands End. So much wildlife! The staff took care of everything, and it was a thoroughly smooth experience. A+

Our hotel screwed up and booked us on a beginner trip. When we told them we were certified- Roger took us out. He was AMAZING. It took me a minute to get my bearings since it has been a while- he ran through the equipment like a pro and made sure we were good to go. Roger took us around the rock, and to the ship wreck and pointed out all the different types of fish. It’s so great to have a guide/diver with such an awesome demeanor and so knowledgeable. We also had a photographer with us too - I can’t remember his name but he was really helpful! Thank you Roger and Cabo adventures!

We recently visited Cabo for a long weekend to do some Scuba Diving and get my girlfriend certified as a PADI Diver. I cannot say enough great things about the Cabo Adventures Scuba Diving Team. These guys are top notch! Armando #2 was such a great guy, well rounded instructor and very patient and knowledgeable while completing my girlfriend's certification!
Thank you so much Armando #2 for the great time, wonderful memories and for keeping my beautiful lady safe, while making sure she had the most amazing diving experience.
We will see you and the Cabo Adventures Dive Team again next year!

I couldn't be happier with my instructor and how we were treated at Cabo Adventures. My instructor Gabriel, was patient, professional and personable. My wife had some issues and Armando worked quickly to get us a refund for her unused time. I would highly recommend.

I took the PADI Open Water Diver Certification with Luis LĂłpez in Cabo San Lucas and it was a really great experience.
Luis was very detailed and meticulous about all steps and skills.
Also Armando and all staff were really attentive, since booking until the last day of the course with all doubts and requirements.
The facilities and the equipment were also very clean and new.
A really pleasant experience.

I had the best experience you could want. Armando was a great instructor and helped me through the whole process, I couldn't have asked for anything else. Also cannot forgot Camilla who took me on one of my dives, I felt very safe being underwater with her!

Instructors and boat staff were amazing! My 15 year old got certified and had a blast while learning a ton. The dive shop is top notch, the equipment was in great condition. I would dive with them again and recommend to anyone visiting Cabo.

I did my Advanced Open Water
Certification with Cabo Adventures and I
have nothing but great things to say about
the company and the instructors! Armando
was very accommodating with the
schedule. Jorge is a great instructor and
extremely knowledgeable.
I also did the Cabo Pulmo dive trip and that
was such an amazing experience. Ricardo is
a fantastic dive guide and very
knowledgeable of the area. Gabriel is a
fantastic driver that got us to and from the
dive site safely and expeditiously!
I highly recommend going with them on your
next dive trip!

I got certified here 2 years ago and thought enough of my instructor that I just brought my 16 year old son down here. He got certified today. Thank you so much Armondo Perea! You are knowledgeable, thorough and I will continue to put my trust in you. 100% recommend scuba certification through you and Cabo Adventures.

This was my first diving experience ever and it couldn’t have been better! Brandon and Armando are fantastic instructors, and the training and the knowledge they provided was outstanding.
The first day of the course was in a pool, and I felt confident with going to dive sites in the ocean on the following days. The dive sites were beautiful and was lucky to see the marine life we did - lots of fish, rays, even a shark!
The whole crew on the boat was also great with helping out with gear set up and lots of fun to be with.
Such a fun experience! The highlight of my time in Cabo. Would recommend to anyone thinking about getting certified!
