Location

The Adventure operates out of Marina Cabo San Lucas, Dock #4, making it easily accessible for international travelers. Guests should fly into San José del Cabo International Airport (SJD), the closest airport to the vessel.

Dive Overview

Diving in Mexico offers an impressive mix of environments, from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of California. In the Sea of Cortez, often called the "Aquarium of the World," divers encounter sea lions, giant schools of fish, mobula rays, whale sharks, and seasonal migrations of humpback and gray whales. Farther offshore at the Revillagigedo Islands (Socorro), the big draw is close interactions with giant manta rays, dolphins, and several shark species, including hammerheads and silky sharks.
