SPEARMEX

Sea of Cortez, Mexico

The team at SPEARMEX are spearos first, divers second, and you feel that passion the moment you step aboard. Their focus isn't just on taking you diving, it’s about understanding the ocean, really getting into its rhythm. If you’re looking for a leisurely drift with schools of snapper and jacks swirling around you, this is your place. It's a great choice for divers who appreciate a strong ecological bent and want more than just a standard boat trip; they're big on sustainable practices and teaching you how to interact respectfully with the environment. We love that they don't do equipment rentals; it means everyone on board generally brings their own gear, indicating a more serious diver. Our favourite trips with them have been to the outer seamounts, particularly during late summer when the mobula rays gather. Dropping down through that warm, blue water, you can hear their wingbeats before you see them, a faint thump-thump-thump getting closer. We’d suggest booking an early morning trip to beat the heat and catch the best light. Just remember, it’s a small operation, so book ahead – they fill up fast, especially for weekend charters.
