Best Time to Visit

Okay, here’s the inside scoop – timing is everything when it comes to shark diving in Cabo. Peak season runs from October through January when the water visibility is absolutely incredible. But honestly? Different species show up at different times of the year. Whale sharks typically make their appearance from October to May, while hammerheads prefer the summer months.

Winter months (December to March) are prime time for whale watching, when these magnificent creatures migrate through the area. The water might be a tad cooler then, but that’s actually when you’ll see the most diverse marine life.

How to Get There

Getting to your shark diving adventure is pretty straightforward. Most tours kick off from the Cabo San Lucas Marina, which is basically the heart of all water activities in the area. You’ll wanna get there about 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time – trust me on this one, you don’t want to miss the boat while hunting for parking!

The good news? There’s plenty of free parking right on site, which is a total game-changer if you’re driving. And if you’re staying at one of the nearby resorts, you might even be able to arrange a pickup service – just ask when you’re booking.

Tips for Visiting

Let me share some hard-earned wisdom from my own experiences. First off, eat light before your trip – those waves can be unpredictable, and nobody wants to feed the fish, if you know what I mean! Bring a waterproof camera if you’ve got one – your regular phone won’t cut it for those underwater shots with sharks.

Wear your swimsuit under your clothes and don’t forget to slather on reef-safe sunscreen before you leave your hotel. The sun out there is no joke, even on cloudy days. Pack a light jacket or windbreaker too – it can get breezy out on the water, especially during morning tours.

If you’re prone to seasickness (no shame in that game), take some motion sickness pills about an hour before departure. And hey, while it might seem obvious, stay hydrated! The combo of sun, salt water, and excitement can really take it outta you.

One last pro tip – book your tour for the start of your vacation. That way, if weather conditions aren’t ideal, you’ve got some wiggle room to reschedule. The ocean doesn’t always play nice, but these folks are pretty good about working with you to ensure you get the best possible experience.

Remember, while shark diving might sound intimidating, these are professional guides who prioritize both your safety and the wellbeing of the marine life. They’ll brief you thoroughly before you get in the water, and there’s always someone keeping an eye out while you’re living your best shark-swimming life.

Oh, and don’t forget to charge your camera the night before – you’re gonna want to document every second of this bucket-list adventure. Between the sharks, the stunning Cabo waters, and all the other marine life you’re bound to encounter, you’ll be telling this story for years to come!
