Comments	14 experienced divers flew down on a Reef Seekers group trip to Los Cabos where we stayed one night at the Siesta Suites Hotel in Cabo and then got on the boat the next night for the 24-hour trip out. Siesta is a modest but clean and comfortable place a few blocks in from the harbor, with a very good restaurant on premises. Covid protocols involved testing the week before the trip, the day we got on the boat and the day we returned to port. The diving was mostly all great, primarily for larger animals: 7-8 species of sharks, Mantas, a Whale Shark, Humpback Whales. We went to San Benedicto, Socorro and Roca Partida; which were fabulous, very good, and good but a little disappointing (good but not quite as much life as expected) in that order. The boat was comfortable, with a fine crew and very tasty food and a decently stocked bar. Great weather, good vis, 77-degree water. I would do it again. Not for the inexperienced diver. Very exposed, very sharky (including night snorkeling with Silkies), some currents. Ready to go back!

Correction: "Liveaboard" should have been checked "Yes."
