History
Cabo developed from a small fishing and pearl-diving community; its unique position at the meeting of two seas concentrates marine life and drew early commercial fishing and later recreational diving.
Conservation
Operators at many Cabo dive centers follow PADI Eco Center guidelines and small-group practices to reduce reef impacts; always choose reef-safe sunscreen and avoid touching marine life.
