Super fun to dive with and have good rental equipment and boats. They will spend the extra time with you if you are new to scuba diving or the area to make sure you understand the diving procedures so you will have a safe enjoyable diving experience. If you have never been to Cabo Pulmo you are really missing out on something special. Keep in mind that it is a very small off the grid dirt town that mainly supports scuba diving. It has all levels of accommodations. A few restaurants, limited shopping options so try to bring anything you might need. Great diving, great people and such a special place. Give CPWS and Cabo Pulmo a try and you will be glad you did.

They personify honesty and competence! My friend and I experienced personalized service that was over-the-top wonderful from reservation to Simon delivering us back to our front door step at the end of the dive. They make you feel like you are the most important client they ever had! Simon is PADI SCUBA Instructor (MSDT) and has become a qualified Cabo Pulmo Marine Park Guide (that is where we dove). He is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of diving and all the best dive sites around Los Barriles. His even, calm manner makes for a wonderful experience; he was amazing for us as experienced divers but would clearly be an ideal choice for less experienced or nervous divers. When I return, I will contact DIVEINBAJA for my next dive near Los Barriles!

The water temperature (64 degrees) and visibility (20 feet) were terrible. The boat that went to see the hammerheads at Gordo saw green water and nothing living according to our guide.

We were invited to a private yacht experience to cruise by the arches and do some snorkeling and…read morelunch. We were excited to head out on a beautiful clear day. We were picked up by a driver in a passenger van prior and dropped off after which was great since we knew we would have some cocktails on board the boat. He was great! Very nice and took good care of us. When we arrived, the driver escorted us to the Cabo Adventure center where we were met by one of the crew members and then escorted to the boat following check-in. We walked a short distance to the boat, passing by many vendors and shops who of course chased you down for sales, donations, etc. But all is good, just say no thank you and they leave you alone. We arrived to the boat and were introduced to our captain, and team. Mauricio, Manuel and Derick. All three were very nice. They catered to whatever we requested from drinks, lunch and snorkeling time. When we arrived, they shared we had a photographer taking pictures throughout the day. I was excited as I am usually the one always taking photos so it would be nice to have a photographer taking pictures of our group instead of me. And, to have professional photos would be great! I only snapped a couple of pictures as we boarded because it looked like he was taking a lot of photos of us in front of the arches, hanging on the boat, etc. throughout the afternoon. I also thought the photos were included. They are not. The boat ride was great. Drinks were great. They made cocktails for us. Snorkeling was nice. Views were beautiful. They answered our questions of the area. We have a delicious light lunch of chips and guac, pasta salad, chicken salad and fruit. The staff couldn't be nicer. The photographer is nice. When we arrived back at the center, we were directed to the "photography" area where we quickly learned our photos would be $200! I calmly said let me look at the photos because if they are really that good, I'll pay for great photos. Sadly, they were all just awful! Only 1 decent photo out of 50 or so photos and even that photo needed major editing. Shadows, weird light. We had 2 different group shots. The photos in front of the arches, the top of the arches were cut off! Who cuts off the arches? Not one good picture in front of the arches. They do NOT have professional photographers my friends. Take your own photos. Don't let them convince you otherwise. I still purchased 3 photos as I thought I could use apps to improve them and wanted a memory of our day. $100 for 3 photos. Such a disappointment. I want to give this company 3 stars because of the photo situation but the rest of the experience was great and the photo situation is obviously a personal preference. If I had any photos other than 2, I would share them, TAKE YOUR OWN PHOTOS. Do not let them talk you into their photographer or you will be disappointed and out a lot of money.

Our trainer and instructor Nely was great, important and useful information on safety for both us humans and dolphin Kobe, some general guidelines plus buoyancy jackets and masks brought to us. Kobe is a four year old male, excited to have new friends to show off his talents, and had fun with us and loved his gentle massages. I could've stayed in the water all day but of course couldn't .. Nely taught how to get Kobe to spin, be a shark zooming to us, blowing underwater rings, and other tricks. Best morning experience coming here. There are lockers as you're not allowed to keep jewelry, watches, earrings and such on while in with the dolphins; NO sunscreen either, but call and ask about reef safe sunscreen when you book if it's ok: I believe the policy is absolutely none. We don't want to unwittingly harm the dolphins when hugging ! I suggest you book direct with them as opposed to through your hotel or other agencies. While waiting to be escorted to the pool there's some chairs and tables in the shade near the lockers, after you check in. Inside you can have sandwiches and some other snacks, beer, sodas and such; also a selection of T-shirts, sweatshirts rashguards, hats, and lots of dolphin plushies.

We were…read morelooking to scuba dive and didn't want to go out with a large group of people, so Cabo Private Guide was perfect for us. Our dive master David, and captain Israel were both wonderful and very knowledgeable. We went diving near the arch and it was beautiful and not too crowded. The visibility was great and we saw a lot of cool marine life. I thought the prices were very reasonable and the expertise they provide is well worth the money. I felt safe the entire time and they prepped and cleaned all the gear for us, unlike other dive companies I've gone with. Also, they provided complimentary photos and videos of our dives, which was a lovely surprise. I will definitely be diving with Cabo Private Guide the next time I visit!

From the very beginning, I was looking for a place that prioritized small class sizes and a more personalized experience--especially after a less-than-ideal OW certification elsewhere. This team delivered on every front. I started communicating with Becky months in advance, and she was incredibly helpful; promptly answering all my questions, coordinating dives for my husband while I did my course, and even sending calendar reminders. That level of professionalism set the tone before we even arrived. I was lucky to have Kostas as my instructor and even luckier to be the only student in my class. He was calm, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Even though he's newer to Cabo, he already has a deep understanding of local marine life. He knew exactly where to look for megafauna and pointed out several rare species during our dives, which made the experience even more special. We dove Pelican Rock, Land's End, and made the unforgettable trip to Cabo Pulmo, where Polo led our excursion. He made sure everything ran smoothly from park briefings to safety checks. During our surface interval, we got to meet some of his fisherman friends who were camping during triggerfish season, and after our dives, we enjoyed a delicious local lunch and even met one of the OG Cabo Pulmo dive shop owners. Everyone we interacted with including Chuy, Baptiste, the boat captains, and the rest of the team, were warm, professional, and clearly passionate about diving and marine life conservation. If you're considering diving in Cabo, whether it's for fun dives or training, don't hesitate to book with this shop. I left with two new certifications, some amazing memories, and a newfound confidence and excitement for diving. 10/10 recommend!
