The drive from San Jose was about 90 minutes, and included some serious off roading to get to the Dive Center. The staff was friendly and helpful, the manager seemed a bit stressed with training 2 new dive staff. He was also irritated by individuals not have $5 US for park fee and trying to use pesos. Our van driver... More

We stayed overnight in Cabo Pulmo and did two dives. Ricardo, operation owner and Leonardo, local photographer, dove with us. They were a pleasure to dive with. Too often, dive operators can be mechanical after years of diving in the same area, but Ricardo maintains his enthusiasm and delight at introducing divers to his local reefs. Leonardo, though busy photographing,... More

If you want to get away from it all Cabo Pulmo on the east cape of the Baja is certainly the place. Cabo Pulmo Dive Center is a great dive center located in the middle of a national park. Although the village of Cabo Pulmo has only about 100 permanent residents this dive center is top notch. Every person i... More

My wife and I booked a snorkel trip through MJ Magical Tours in San Jose the evening before we headed out to Cabo Pulmo but after the Dive Center was closed. Here's the rub, we had a rental car and drove over which we enjoyed seeing the countryside away from town. The issue if you do this on short notice... More

We went on two dives with Cabo Pulmo Dive Center. Our dive masters were informative and interested in sharing their knowledge of the marine reserve with us. Great for beginners. The fish tacos post-dive were delicious. Love to go back.

I had 2 dives with Cabo pulmo on feb 2012. This is low season, which means colder water, a bit less visibility, rougher ocean. But als less people, and great amount of life under the surface. Or do I have to say above, as we saw hunderds of Mantra rays jumping almost in the boat to welcome us for our... More

My husband and I were back in Cabo Pulmo, my favorite place in the world, to scuba dive again. We had received our advanced open water certificate with Rick in July, and wanted to come back to see the whales and sharks that migrate around the Baja during the winter. During our dive we saw schools of rays, white tipped... More

Dove with Cabo Pulmo Dive Center and with Cabo Pulmo Watersports. Both good, but the Dive Center is far more professional, better organized and more efficient. The 1 of 5 review listed here is misplaced as it describes Cabo Pulmo Divers, a different outfit. Facilities are better at the Dive Center than at Watersports. Both launch boats from beach and...

Had a great experience with Cabo Pulmo Dive Center. Very organized, only 6 divers per boat, good DM. I read the other reviews and some of the criticims are idiotic. First, all dive boats are launched the same way. The nat'l park doesn't allow for moorings, piers or slips. Second, the DM's primary concern is your safety. Last, we saw... More

My husband and I did the Snorkeling Tour with Cabo Pulmo Dive Center at the Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park. They picked us up at Mykonos in San Jose Del Cabo, it was a little under 1 1/2 hours drive from there to the park. We were suited up with wet suits and inflatable life vests, and headed out in...
