Snorkel & Dive

Dive into the heart of “the aquarium of the world”.

Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park is known to scuba divers as one of the best dive sites in the world. The protected waters are teeming with over 800 species, including coral, fish, sharks, sea turtles, rays, sea lions, and humpback whales. One of the area’s diving highlights is a shipwreck called "El Colima" covered in corals, anemones, and the occasional nurse shark!

There are four local scuba/snorkel operations in Cabo Pulmo. The largest and most complete scuba outfitter in Cabo Pulmo (first on list below) is also the only 5-Star PADI dive operation in Cabo Pulmo.

You can also snorkel right from the local beaches!

Cabo Pulmo Dive Center

Cabo Pulmo’s only 5-Star PADI Dive Operation. Owner Operators are locals Cole Barrymore (son of Cabo Pulmo’s developer Dick Barrymore) and Cabo Pulmo native Maribel Castro Barrymore. The Cabo Pulmo Dive Center has the only swimming pool in Cabo Pulmo, used for check-dives and some PADI dive courses. Cabo Pulmo Dive Center also offers Nitrox and a wide array of excellent scuba and snorkel equipment. Multiple dive boats, each run by an experienced local captain and experienced PADI dive master or instructor, launch multiple trips daily in front of VILLA DEL MAR accessed from their private beach road access.
