What makes this dive different

• Shallow-water practice before heading to the site
• Two dives inside the National Park, down to 12 metres
• An instructor with you throughout
• Full gear and National Park access included

How the day works, step by step

1. Welcome and check-in. We meet at Cabo Pulmo Travel at 7:30 or 12:30 and fit your gear. That is arrival time, not departure time.
2. Introductory class. You get to know the gear, the hand signals and the basics: how to breathe and how to equalise.
3. Shallow-water practice. You run through the first skills with the instructor beside you, bottom in sight and no rush.
4. First dive. Once you have completed the practice and feel ready, the guided exploration begins, down to a maximum of 12 metres.
5. Break. A pause to hydrate, have the snack and talk about what you just saw.
6. Second dive and return. You continue with the instructor and the activity wraps up. Total duration around five and a half hours.

What you will see

• Schools over the sand flats
