Quick Answer

Prices $100-350. Duration about 3-4 hours. Book direct for best value. Mid range operators are most reliable.

$100–$350
$100-350 per person

Cabo has no shortage of scuba diving options at $100-350 per person, but the quality gap between operators is huge. These are the reliable ones.

Booking direct at the beach is fine for simple rentals, but guided tours should be reserved 2-3 days ahead during peak season (December-April).

The Sea of Cortez side offers calmer water ideal for beginners, while the Pacific side brings more waves and current for experienced riders. Medano Beach is the main hub for rentals.

Morning sessions get the calmest conditions — wind picks up after noon most days. The sweet spot is 8-10am for flattest water.

Pro tip from locals: book direct with operators—saves 15-25% vs hotel desks.
