Cabo Pulmo Divers

Sea of Cortez, Mexico

The team at Cabo Pulmo Divers feels like an extension of your own dive buddies, the kind of operation where you roll up with a coffee and feel instantly at home. We love their no-nonsense approach to diving in the park; it’s all about getting you to the best spots when conditions are right, without any fuss. They specialise in small group trips, which makes a huge difference when you’re hanging out at El Bajo, watching bull sharks circle or drifting over the massive coral heads at Los Placeres. These guys are ideal for divers who appreciate local knowledge and a relaxed pace. We’d pick them for their consistent professionalism and the genuine enthusiasm they still have for the reef, even after decades of diving it. Our favourite tip from them? Ask for an early morning departure to catch the Mobula rays feeding near the surface in late spring. You’ll feel the subtle pressure wave as they pass, and the light is just incredible. They really understand the rhythms of Cabo Pulmo, from the best time to see the schooling jacks at El Vencedor to finding those elusive guitarfish camouflaged on the sand. You’ll leave feeling like you've seen the park through their eyes, which is exactly what you want from a local operator.
