Private Beginner Scuba Diving Experience in Cabo San Lucas
Overview
Available languages
2 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
We offer affordable 1:1 discover scuba experiences on shared boats for a truly personalized experience. You will NOT be in large groups with divers who may work at a different pace. Your instructor will be able to attend to you exclusively and will not have their hands too full to find all the amazing aquatic life!
We dive at a local reef 5 minutes by boat. However, if it´s too crowded on this popular site, we are one of the few dive centers that have actually mapped out another secret shallow water area which is 99% almost always exclusive to us.
This activity is for one dive only. However, we will always put extra tanks on the boat in case you want to do a second dive. It´s addictive! So be prepared to want to go again and again.
Although our instructors are not permitted to take photos because your safety comes first, we offer an affordable private photographer to go with you and take truly personalized photos. Just message us separately if you want to book this service.

What To Expect
You'll meet your instructor at the dive center in plenty of time to get suited up and ready. At the boat you'll learn some basic concepts of diving and have a detailed equipment orientation. After practicing skills in shallow water, you're ready to explore! You'll be allowed to dive as deep as you are comfortable to a maximum of 12m/ 40ft. If you prefer to stay the depth of a swimming pool and play with the pufferfish, that's absolutely fine! This is a unique affordable, private experience on a shared boat with a private expert instructor that is dedicated to you. Your instructor will have the time to concentrate on your enjoyment while maintaining our 100% safety record - as well as having better opportunities to find an ABUNDANCE of interesting marine life that lives here in Cabo! We believe small groups with close supervision is the best way to reduce human impact on the reef and truly enjoy the closest wildlife encounters! Please note: you will be asked to fill out a medical questionnaire to check you are medically fit to dive. If you have high blood pressure, asthma or recent surgeries you would require a Dr to sign off beforehand.

5.00Incredible experience with cabo private guide! We booked a bubble maker with Morgane who was attentive, patient, caring with our 9 year old boy! He had an extraordinary experience and would like to do his certification when he turns 10 thanks to it:) Also, we made me and my spouse our first dive with them and Javi was our guide. Super professional, marine biologist, we were confident from the beginning and wow as our child, we will do our certification after this experience with javi! Moreover, we did the sea safari and Javi was still our guide! It was a memorable day, swimming with a menta ray, sea lion and dolphins! Totally stupid as a day! Finally, my spouse did a second dive with Caesar as guide and again everything was perfect! Do not hesitate to book with Cabo private guide which offers personalized and professional services. They listen to the needs and will make you live magical moments! Thank you again and highly recommend!

5.00We had an absolutely incredible time with Cabo Private Guide! This was our first family diving adventure, and Morgane and Javi made it perfect in every way. My 9 and 11-year-old had never been diving before, and I was a bit nervous about how they'd handle it, but our guides were so patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. Both kids are now completely hooked on diving - they haven't stopped talking about it since we got back! Morgane and Javi created such a safe and fun environment that made the whole family feel comfortable and excited throughout the entire experience. Their professionalism and genuine care for making sure everyone had a great time really showed. As a small business, Cabo Private Guide delivers big on service. From the initial booking to the actual dive, everything was seamless and well-organized. The personalized attention we received made this trip truly special and memorable for our family. We're already planning our next trip back and will definitely be diving with Cabo Private Guide again. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional diving experience in Cabo! Thank you Morgane and Javi for giving my kids a new passion and our family such wonderful memories!
We had an amazing time, we saw schools of fish and brunettes. And a manta ray that they call Cuban, the ones that commonly jump

5.00We had the most amazing experience with Javi and Morgane doing our first dive with kids. I was a bit hesitant to do the dive with kids (13 and 15) at first but Javi and Morgane were very professional, knowledgeable, entertaining and fun! We left safe at all times and would recommend them to anybody considering the first time scuba.
Wonderful Experience

5.00My beautiful gf and I went down to CPG to get open-water certified on their 2-day course without any prior scuba experience. The communication prior to arriving was exceptional and the experience with Diego, our instructor, exceeded all expectations. He was a great teacher, showed me patience (being generally uncomfortable in water due to childhood trauma) and always made us feel safe. CBG is the place to get certified in Cabo.

5.00Went to Cabo Private Guide to get Open Water Scuba certified and our experience was phenomenal. Diego, our very knowledgeable instructor was absolutely a pleasure to work with. His expertise and personality made the experience one to remember for a lifetime. The staff in the office and the communication from the shop beforehand eased any bit of anxiety about the experience. If looking to get certified in Cabo this is your place to go..

5.00Excellent experience with Cabo Private Dive. I recommend strongly. Laure was very kind and patient explaining everything during the booking process concerning our dives and the PADI certificate. Our dive master was very professional and patient reassuring us constantly before my daughters PADI. Above all that I lost my ring 15 metres deep and they went out of their way to communicate this to other divers which resulted in finding my ring on the sand. Very professional company. Thank you Laure and Javier !
