12 hours long disorganized tour
Slightly disorganized operation using third party operators it seems. The driver, Eugenio, was great. Once we arrived to the third party in Cabo Pulmo, the trailers tire broke (it’s ok it happens) but we waited over an hour to get on the water. Someone working let us use their Go Pro for a fee, which was very kind. Our guide swam so fast through rough current to the pint that she lost everyone in our group and nobody could see her. My BCD was broken and was unnoticed until after we got on the smallest boat I’ve ever rode (dove with multiple other dive shops in Cabo with no complaints). They tied it into a knot and said it was the best they could do. Guide took us to the wrong spot where there was lots of current, surfaced out of nowhere, and then told everyone to get back on the boat without explaining what happened. First dive site was poor.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback, We're sorry to learn that the day did not meet your expectations. While unforeseen situations and weather conditions can occasionally impact operations, we understand how frustrating the delays, equipment concerns, and lack of communication must have been. Guest safety is always our highest priority, so we're especially concerned by your comments regarding the dive equipment and the overall guidance during the dives. We're pleased to know that Eugenio's service made a positive impression and that a member of the local team was able to assist you. Your observations will be shared with the appropriate teams and our local operating partners as we continue working to improve the experience we provide. Thank you again for your honest feedback. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better diving experience in the future.

Good dives, do not let them touch your stuff.
I was the only participant as as the 4 other people cancelled. When we got to cabo plumo the dive shop was getting things ready and took my gear on the boat. I met the boat at the beach and they were putting together my gear. Got on the boat and did two wonderful dives, got to shore and went back to the dive shop for lunch. About 1/2 hour later the boat arrived and I was getting my gear off and noticed that my stuff bag for my BCD was missing. When I asked about it they told me they did not have it. Finally, after insisting, the DM came back and said it was aboard the boat when they were assembling my gear but they must have lost it. He said to tell Cabo Adventures to contact him and they would figure out what to to. Cabo Adventures did nothing! They took my number and just looked confused when I asked them about the situation. I was the only person on the boat and they lost my travel bag, then just ignored me. Not only carless but no accountability. I would like to give a shout out to Cressi, who I contacted and so generously replaced my bag for me. This is not something you can buy, and though it is not an expensive item, when you travel with your gear it is good to have it protected.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your dives at Cabo Pulmo. We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with your gear. While our dive operations team handles equipment to ensure safety and proper setup, we understand how stressful it can be to have personal items misplaced. We always strive to maintain clear communication and accountability, and we regret that this situation was not resolved to your satisfaction at the time. We appreciate your feedback and will review our procedures with our dive partners to prevent similar situations in the future. If you still need assistance with your lost bag, please contact us directly at scuba@cabo-adventures.com, and we will do our best to coordinate a resolution. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again under smoother circumstances.

Cabo Pulmo An incredible dive experience.
Unforgettable Scuba Diving Adventure in Cabo Pulmo – 10/10! We had an incredible trip to Cabo Pulmo for scuba diving—truly one of the top highlights of our travels. With just four divers on the boat, it was an intimate, relaxed experience that felt safe and perfectly guided from start to finish. The sea was a bit rough and visibility wasn’t ideal, but it didn’t matter—the reef was absolutely teeming with life. It was like diving in a massive, living aquarium. We saw majestic bull sharks, huge schools of fish, and countless vibrant marine species. It was breathtaking. One thing that really stood out was how well-managed the marine sanctuary is by the Mexican authorities. Their care and commitment to preserving this pristine, protected environment is obvious—and deeply appreciated. It’s a model for how marine conservation should be done. The dive master and boat captain were exceptional—knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about diving. The boat was well-stocked with drinks and snacks, and everything was set up for a smooth, comfortable dive. Afterwards, we were treated to a homemade lunch at a quiet local spot—a small restaurant run by a kind mother and daughter team. The fish and beef tacos were simply amazing—fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. A perfect way to end a perfect dive day. I’ve dived all over the world, and I would confidently put Cabo Pulmo in my top 10 dive sites globally. I’ll absolutely be back—and will dive with this operator again without hesitation. Truly a world-class experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and passionate review! We’re honored to know that your Cabo Pulmo scuba diving experience ranks among the best of your global dive adventures. From the intimate group setting and vibrant marine life to the warm hospitality and delicious local lunch—it’s clear the day left a lasting impression. We’re especially grateful for your recognition of the marine sanctuary’s conservation efforts, which are a true point of pride here in Baja. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more world-class diving and unforgettable moments in this incredible part of the world!

Cabo Pulmo 2-Tank Certified Dive with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Jose del Cabo.
How much does Cabo Pulmo 2-Tank Certified Dive with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $279 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Jose del Cabo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cabo Pulmo 2-Tank Certified Dive with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Jose del Cabo is not rushed.
Is Cabo Pulmo 2-Tank Certified Dive with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Jose del Cabo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cabo Pulmo 2-Tank Certified Dive with Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cabo Pulmo 2-Tank Certified Dive with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cabo Pulmo 2-Tank Certified Dive with Lunch?
+
Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Jose del Cabo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Jose del Cabo and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cabo Pulmo 2-Tank Certified Dive with Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Jose del Cabo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Jose del Cabo?
+
On Outty we rank every San Jose del Cabo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Land’s End Experience: Arch, Beaches and Marine Life, Cabo Electric Bike Beach Adventure with Margaritas and Lunch, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Jose del Cabo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Jose del Cabo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Cabo Pulmo 2-Tank Certified Dive with Lunch?
+

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 97 listed pickup locations in and around San Jose del Cabo. Be ready about 90 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Cabo Pulmo 2-Tank Certified Dive with Lunch offered in?
+
