    Great first experience, with us every step of the way

    We had the best day! He was so patient and answered all my questions and soothed my nerves with him instructions. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in trying scuba diving. I felt safe at every step.

    Great first dive trip.

    We had a great 1st dive with Sonia and SunRiders. The boat and equipment was in good condition and safe. my son’s fist dive and Sonia went over everything that was needed. Saw tons of fish including puffers, angels, triggers. Would recommend this shop again.

    This was such an amazing experience for the first time diving! Angelo is incredible! He was so calm and wanted to make my first time as enjoyable as possible. I want to get certified and dive again, all because of the experience and expertise from Angelo!

    THE BEST scuba choice in Cabo San Lucas for beginners.

    We went Nov 8 2025 in the morning. THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR BEGINNERS. We had NEVER been scuba diving before. Angelo is an amazing instructor who focuses on safety. Although we both knew how to swim, it was not necessary. It is however necessary to remember to focus on breathing out of your mouth and NOT your nose. Angelo makes sure to take you through the proper steps to clear your mask, hand signals to communicate while under water, inflating/deflating your vest etc. We were fortunate to be the only 2 for our experience and it was wonderful. We got awesome pics and videos with tons of marine life. Puffer fish were swimming around us like little pets- they didn’t even puff and wanted to be petted (lol). The views were amazing on the trip out to the diving site and we got to see sea lions on the dock as well as the colony on the rocks. Alvaro was a great captain of our ship! We saw other companies that were diving with 10-15+ divers in the group and were grateful we were NOT a part of that! Angelo did a wonderful job keeping us calm We were actually in the water when the other groups had just gotten out which was another bonus. We are now looking to learn more about scuba diving and excited for our next opportunity to be under the sea🤿🐠 If I could give them a 10 star rating I would. THIS IS YOUR BEST CHOICE AND WE WOULD DEFINITELY CHOOSE THEM TO GO AGAIN!!!!!! Angelo also gave us some great recommendations for the local markets and restaurants! ***Also for transportation TAKE AN UBER! We took a taxi there and an uber back - the uber was 3x cheaper, but this also changes throughout the day*** Thank you to Angelo and Alvaro for a wonderful experience❣️ 🫶🏽🫶🏻 Dee & Kristin

    Los Cabos Beginner Scuba Dive Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.

    How much does Los Cabos Beginner Scuba Dive Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Cabos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Los Cabos Beginner Scuba Dive Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Los Cabos is not rushed.

    Is Los Cabos Beginner Scuba Dive Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Los Cabos Beginner Scuba Dive Experience?

    +

    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 Los Cabos Beginner Scuba Dive Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Los Cabos Beginner Scuba Dive Experience?

    +

    Around 19 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 Los Cabos 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 Los Cabos and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Los Cabos Beginner Scuba Dive Experience 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 Los Cabos 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 Los Cabos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Los Cabos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ziplining and UTV Desert Adventure from Los Cabos, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting. 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 Los Cabos?

    +

    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 Los Cabos?

    +

    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.
