diddo!!

Welcome to the board.

I did dives in Cabo with Manta Diving in 2004 and was very happy. I did a dive in December, 2005, with Lands End and was also very happy. Most of the operators are right in the harbor, have similar boats, and go to about the same sites. (In fact, its sort of amusing how many dive boats there will be.) One warning, the wetsuits the local operators provide will not be as warm as you might like. Several locals use 3 mm full suits covered with a 3 mm shorty. For December, I brought a 7 mm and was quite happy. If you are going to use a rental wetsuit, at least bring a hood.

Moved from Introductions & Greets forum.

From what I can tell on this forum, Manta, Amigos del Mar & Underwater Diversions are good operations. I would not recommend Lands End and can highly recommend Amigos, both from personal experience.

I concur with Underwater Diversions. (I forgot that I had dived with them, too.)

What, however, didn't you (scubabum2) like about Land's End? (Just for future reference.)

Personal experience with Land's End wasn't bad, I dove with them in November. However, I liked my experience with Underwater Diversions best, as I have also dove with Baja dive and wasn't thrilled their either. The best DM and manager I have met are the boys that run Underwater Diversions. I'll be back the 3rd week of February, Cabo is a great place.

I had several issues with Lands End, which I noted in my trip report at http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?t=124629. Too many cruise ship divers, putting the inexperienced divers in the water after everyone had descended, coming in after every dive, trash talking another shop, etc. I dove with a shop, Amigos del Mar, earlier last year that had none of those issues that I enjoyed very much.

I dove with Blue Adventures in November and really liked them. Good DM's, easy location in the marina and they visit a variety of sites.

sounds good thanks

does anyone just rent tanks and weight in Cabo?
Chileno and Santa Maria are easy access from the highway and close to where I stay.
I hate to pay for a guided boat dive "all' the time?
