Live-A-Board Diving vs Diving in Los Cabos

Many of the best dive sites in the world are accessible only via live-a-board style accommodation. This includes the “near-by” destinations of the Socorro Islands, the Cocos Islands, and the Galapagos archipelago. The diving in these spots is world renowned for its abundance and variety, and in some diver’s opinions, this cannot be matched. We respectfully disagree.

Gordo Banks and the surrounding sites offer the same abundance, species, and variety as the much further flung and famous sites in the Pacific Ocean.

The big advantage over diving on shore-based sites is the flexibility that is afforded to you. You have the choice of your accommodation, food & beverages, and activities. You’ll often hear our instructors talking about playing golf the afternoon after a great morning dive! Check out our “Los Cabos” page for the region’s best activities and pastimes. Don’t forget, this area is a playground for all manner of tastes.

Other advantages include not having to sail for 24-36 hours to get to the sites, the international airport of Los Cabos is 30 minutes from the dive centre and the diving/accommodation/activities is often far cheaper.
