If you don't mind me asking. I have dived all over the world, on any number and variety of boats, and only one, that I recall, had a freshwater hose or shower.
Why is that such a high priority?
Thanks!

To circumvent a 2 hour van ride back in sticky saltwater unable to rinse...This is what I am needing
How about a quick rinse at the dive shop before heading out in the van. They need to have a fresh water source to rinse gear.

That’s what I’m thinking but they said no facilities

Im not sure about the hose thing, but I've been with 3 different dive companies in Cabo, and if you want what I think are the best and nicest, serious, care about you....I'd go with Manta Divers. My 11 year old got certified there and well, they didn't care how much money they would lose they weren't gonna certify her until she was safe! I love that. Plus they are very very personable! Good gear, nice boats, very knowlegble etc.

My wife and I will be in Cabo San Lucas for the week of Sept. 2nd and we have been looking for an operator that runs a safe operations but hopefully smaller groups. Can anybody give current recommendations as a lot of the reviews are over a year old which means things may have changed?
We both have 300+ dives so we don't want to get stuck on a boat with all newbies. We all started there but our time is limited and we want to make the most of it.
How does Manta, Dive Cabo, and Amigos rate?
Other suggestions?
thanks.

We randomly picked a dive shop that was close to our resort. We were staying at Vila del Palmar, and picked Scuba Caribe. Being relatively new divers, we're always worried that we'll look like goons on a boat full of professionals. We were both a bit apprehensive when we got to the boat (at the marina) and it was a panga!
We dove for two days, morning and afternoon. The first morning there were 2 other divers on our boat. The first afternoon, there were 2 different divers on our boat. The second day, we had the boat all to ourselves.
Not only were the divemasters super friendly and top notch, they went out of their way to make sure we had fun. During our first surface interval, the DM thought he saw whales, so we spent the hour following whales; having one breech within 100 feet of the boat.
The boat wasn't fancy, but the diving was great ... well, as good as it's going to get in 66 degree water!
I would not hesitate to use them again.
