We had the best experience ever! Chris was our instructor and he did an incredible job! It was my girlfriends first time ever diving and she was very scared. Chris did an amazing job explaining all the procedures and insuring she felt safe. Chris gave her the confidence she needed to have a great dive! The dive area was fantastic. There were plenty of cool fish to see. Also a beautiful rock formations observe. The boat they took us out on was clean, nice and new! The boat crew was great and fun to be around. They gave us complimentary snack and fresh fruit which was nice. I would highly recommend this outfit to anybody seeking a scuba experience in Los Cabos. This experience in particular is great for beginners or a first dive.

This was a great first day excursion! We had some yummy tacos and treats. The guides were very knowledgeable about the area. We didn’t drink tequila at the end but the churros were great!

We had such a great time learning how to make tamales and corn tortillas! We shopped, we chopped and we ate! There was music, drinks and lots of laughs! Do it! You won’t regret it!

Great guide with good gear. First time in about 4-5 times snorkeling was actually a positive experience. Saw lots of fish and felt safe with good mask etc.

really fun experience, with a fantastic crew. We saw whales up close also!
