Since Cabo is a tropical destination, I was definitely looking forward to diving here. I did a bunch of research online and went with Dive Ninjas as the dive company. I spoke with Sara on the phone several times and she was very nice. I booked as many dives as I could for the week which includes 4 dives on the first day -- 2 tanks in the morning, a quick break for lunch, and then 2 tanks in the afternoon.

Hurricane Otis had just gone through Mexico a week before and although it didn't hit Cabo directly, there was some damage to the area and it stirred up the water.

Our first dive site was up the corridor at Whale's Head. This site was fairly calm. We saw several fish, including a Black-blotched porcupinefish which wound up being my favorite fish to see here. Near the end of the dive, we caught a glimpse of an Eagle Ray, but it was too fast for me to get a picture.

Second dive was back towards the marina at the Land's End. I was surprised to see a shipwreck right as we descended. This was previously mostly buried in the sand so even the divemasters were surprised to see it so exposed. The shipwreck was the Lundenberg which was also previously uncovered by another O-named hurricane back in 2014.

After lunch, headed out again, but this time with James and my parents. James dove with me while parents snorkeled, since I couldn't convince them to go diving. This site was Pelican Rock which was a very short distance out of the marina, before you get to Land's End. The site started pretty shallow in the sand just off of a busy beach then went down to a cliff that we stayed along the edge of. Saw quite a few big schools of fish which was cool that they all moved together but otherwise a little light on the number of fish compared to a place like Hawaii.

For the fourth dive, we tried to go back to the Land's End site, but the water was a little rough and dad was getting seasick. We dropped him and my mom and their DM off on the beach nearby. Saw some sea lions playing around here underwater.
