This is a Discover Scuba dive at Piedra del Pelícano, a protected pocket where fishing is restricted and marine life congregates. Geologically the area sits where older granitic headlands meet younger volcanic deposits, producing steep dropoffs and rocky reefs that harbor snappers, parrotfish and morays. Culturally, Cabo grew from fishing and pearl harvesting; today the marina is a working hub and tour starting point.
Expect a 45–60 minute bottom time depending on air consumption, with PADI guides supervising every step from briefing to surface recovery. Encounters often include playful sea lions, mobula rays, and dense schools of reef fish; El Arco and Land’s End are visible on the surface runaround after the dive.
Practical guidance: arrive at Dock 0 near Captain Tony’s 30 minutes early, wear a swimsuit under casual clothes, and bring a light waterproof jacket for the ride. Photos and videos are included, wetsuits and full scuba gear are supplied, and the activity is wheelchair‑accessible on board. Not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with serious heart conditions. Hydrate beforehand, avoid heavy meals right before diving, and follow guide instructions—buoyancy and breathing control make this a relaxed first dive rather than an adrenaline sprint.
