Dive Operators in Baja CaliforniaLos Cabos • Cabo Pulmo • La Paz • Buena Vista • Loreto • Mulegé • Ensenada • Baja Norte Diving Around Los CabosYou can hire all your equipment from the dive operators around San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. You can also book boat dives with them. However, it's much cheaper to negotiate with the fishermen. With a fisherman you usually go out in a Panga: a fibreglass fishing boat around 24 foot long.

Fernando Aguilar
"We had a great diving week with Fernando Aguilar and Baja Diving and Service, we want to fully reccomend this dive operation to everyone. The cost for the diving was about 95 American dollars. The hotel was really clean, the service was excellent as well as the food, the boats were a little bit crowded but I guess it was normal for high season, the divemasters took great care of us so it was ok. A lot better than Cabo!"
"I just spent a week at Cantamar in La Paz. The diving was great but when I paid with my credit card they charged almost 10 percent more than the rates posted on the internet. Then they said it is the banks fault but the hotel just converts the dollars at an outrageous exchange rate - and then tried to blame the bank which actually used a very good rate.
"Fernando Aguilar and his crew were the best! Always accomodating! Complete knowledge of dive sites. Good housekeeping and safety.

"Cortez Explorers is a great dive shop in Mulege, Baja Sur. I visited a couple of weeks ago (2006) and loved the whole experiance. I dived with Sealions, Turtles and large fish of all types. I stayed with their package of $89 per night, two dives, breakfast, lunch and accomodations included!

According to Dale Erwin Wipperman, the dive shop owner, "The dive sites are virgin and unspoiled, smothered with vibrant yellow plating tunicates, alabaster sponge colonies, brilliant blue algae, fluorescent strawberry anemones, and over two dozen types of nudibranches, fish, etc. Water temperature and visibility range from 55-64 oF (13-18 oC) and 20-80' (6-25 m) year round.
