Bucketlist - CHECK - This has been a bucket list item for me for SO long and it did not disappoint. The whole ride out we were educated on shark nature, how to interact with them, safety, different species, and more. Felt very comfortable from start to finish and no sense of panic, the staff are all very knowledgeable and you can tell they love what they do! Even though it took me a solid ~45 minutes to work up the courage to jump in, I appreciated that the staff made sure I was comfortable when I finally took the plunge and I would ABSOLUTELY do this again. Thank you so much for such a memorable experience!

Great crew and gorgeous sharks!! - I held off on doing this, afraid that we may and not even see a thing.. which i hear happens, "it's the ocean nothing is guaranteed" After having just done it last week - THIS IS A MUST-DO experience, if you're considering.. We got lucky we did not have to wait long at all, maybe not even a half hour.. The captain was great, you can tell he's been around sharks a lot, and was also looking after the chumming and safety while the shark girl Lisha was in the water, feeling out the shark behavior also for safety before letting us join. She also taking footage but she did say the priority safety first.. Probably could use one more body on the crew, and maybe something for flotation for not so strong swimmers, but other than that - amazing time!! It's honestly a privilege to see these creatures at all,and as someone with zero dive and zero snorkel experience- I still felt completely safe. Thanks to this crew!!

Book this dive - If you love sharks and you should because they are magnificent, do a dive with this organization. They are friendly, easy going, and want you to have the best experience. They allowed me to get in one last dive when we were heading in. The guides were knowledgeable and true conservationists. They care about sharks and it shows. I would highly recommend Cabosharkdive to anyone I know and especially to anyone I don't.

Mako in sight! - As locals we are always in search of authentic experiences that allow us to know beyond what tourists are looking for when coming to Cabo and the swimming with sharks tour accompanied by Miguel, Adolfo and Captain Josué; It's definitely something unique. The passion and knowledge about the sea; In addition to our privileged geographical location; They are combined in an experience full of emotions and learning about the marine life of the South California coast. Definitely recommended.

Knowledge instructor, bad day to do the tour - The day we went we couldn't enjoy the tour as expected, the lack of current and wind didn't help. We just stayed in the water floating for hours and nothing appeared other than a few whales and dolphins, which can be easily seen at any whale watching tour

Don't trust this company. - Was negative, the crew was cheating on us. They charged a wrong amount into the credit card. Also the way in solving the problem is not good, now an ongoing credit card dispute with 3 persons.
