lookig for cabo dive operator recommendation

Your right about the DM really making the difference between shops. Gary was our DM at Blue Adventures and he was "The Man". He way beyond the normal to make sure our trips were special.

Amigos del Mar has been diving the area since 1984, so they're the most experienced. I heard they just got a new local boat, very nice. June is not great diving in the lower Sea of Cortez. I always dive with Amigos del Mar.

I also dove with Gary at Underwater Diversions. He was a great guy, even let me stay down until i burned down my tank while the heavy breathers were sent up the anchorline. I also dove with another guy there, believe his name was salvador. He is an instructor/photographer local guy that just dives off the boat a lot for fun solo, I tagged along with him one day for some awesome diving not done by most people. Just another perk of Underwater Diversions, and Dustin (manager) is great too.

Amigos del Mar has been in operation since 1983, they have a new boat for local dives (so they now have 3 day boats) as well as their involvement in the Solmar V,their experience makes a difference and their prices are fair. They are the most experienced dive operator in the Los Cabos area.

I have used Cabo Aquadeportes and they were friendly and fun!! Plus they stored my gear in a safe area so I didn't have to haul it back all the time and picked us up in their water taxi...

just got back from Cabo, Gary was with Cabo Aquadeportes but the shop closed in Nov 2005, he is now with Underwater Diversions, the best shop in Cabo in my book...
in Cabo Pulmo, new managers (since Nov), Carmel & Pablo (originally from Argentina), at Cabo Pulmo Beach Resort. They are a big improvement on what was already a good shop, we dove with Pablo and had great dives. Couldn't find anyone to talk to at Pepe's...

Thanks for the update, GL. Cabo Pulmo Beach Resort -- is that the two-story building? Did you actually lodge there, and if so, how was it? What was the cost? I've stayed at Nancy's, and commuted from CSL.
