Cabo Shark Dive - Snorkeling Tour

A once-in-a-lifetime experience in total comfort and safety. The awesome shark dive and snorkeling tours occur offshore, in the blue waters of the Sea of Cortez and Pacific Ocean. The exclusive dive sites are the best places to sight the amazing marine wildlife of Baja California Sur. The sites of the regular half-day tours are located only a 30-minute boat ride from the marina, with a nice and comfortable super panga or fisherman yachtsafe and relaxing! Once in the water, we have all the time we want to swim with sharks. The duration of the experience depends on how long the sharks want to stay around, and they usually stay for a very long time!

Here, the Northern California current, the Southern California countercurrent, and a strong coastal upwelling work together to create a marine environment with incredible biodiversity, making Cabo San Lucas the best place in the world to snorkel and free dive with smooth hammerheads (Sphyrna zygaena) and mako sharks (Isurus oxyrinchus). The smooth hammerhead is a pelagic shark that lives close to the surface and migrates to Cabo in large numbers in March for mating and feeding.

It is a rare and magnificent shark that can grow over 12 feet! The mako shark, the fastest shark in the world, offers pure adrenaline with an average size of 6 feet! Visibility varies throughout the season, ranging from 60 to 100 feet. The water temperature is 70-80F (Jan-May) and 75-90F (Jun-Dec).
