My #1 Pick
Shev & Ernesto, the shop manager of Cabo Pulmo Travel

Cabo Pulmo Travel

Divers are a loyal bunch, so of course I list the shop I dive with first! I have been diving with Cabo Pulmo Travel once or twice a year since 2022. And have had the same dive guides every time – that tells me a lot about a shop. If they can keep staff, they are doing something right!

Tips for Booking a Dive Shop in Cabo Pulmo

  • Book early – Especially in high season (October–January) or holidays
  • Ask about group sizes – Some shops run 4 divers per guide, others 6+
  • Check for Nitrox – If you need to dive Nitrox for medical reasons, be sure to ask ahead. Not all shops offer it, as oxygen can be hard to source
  • Confirm gear rental costs – Some include it, others charge extra
  • Bring cash – Not all operators accept cards, and there are no atms in Cabo Pulmo
  • Respect the park rules – No gloves, no touching, no harassment of wildlife

Shev’s Summary – Best Cabo Pulmo Dive Shops

No matter which dive shop you choose, Cabo Pulmo is going to leave an impression. It’s wild, remote, and refreshingly undeveloped—exactly what makes it so special.

Always read reviews, I look for pictures, diversity in the people in the photos, and the response time of the dive shop.

With a little planning, you’ll find the dive shop that matches your vibe and helps you get the most out of this incredible marine park.
