Comments Started with Amigos Del Mar but lost confidence after dive master ignored and lost divers underwater. Some divers running low on air were just ignored. Strong current did not help matters. Less than professional operation. Next diving with Deep Blue at hotel Costa Real Cabo (formerly Plaza Las Glorias). Diving with Luis, excellent dive master and operation. No reason to dive with Amigos Del Mar. Only problem is a 3 step ladder getting back on the boat. They need some thing more substantial. This area is not like the Carribbean. Nice for one or two days but not for a week of diving. Best season in Sept to Dec but also hurricane season.
