Additional Information

Cabo San Lucas boasts a remarkable geological feature where the Sea of Cortez flows into the Pacific Ocean, punctuated by an impressive rock formation at the extremity of the world’s second longest peninsula. This concocts a breathtaking scene both above and below the waterline!

Our Open Water Course has three segments: theoretical learning, practical exercises, and ocean dives. After completing the online learning module, your friend will have a review session with our instructor before becoming familiar with the equipment and embarking on a pool practice session. The course culminates in four ocean dives spread across two days, concluding in certification.

The online learning module typically requires 2-3 days to complete, and you can commence at your convenience, ensuring that all quizzes and exams are completed prior to your in-person session. The in-person training with us at Dive Ninja takes up two full days, starting at 8 a.m. with an equipment tutorial and pool session. This is followed by two afternoon dives commencing at 1 p.m., post lunch.

The Real Deal in Responsible and Eco Tourism - Dive Ninja is a fantastic dive centre and tour operator! Their efforts to contribute positively to the community behind the scene of the busy tourist town of Cabo San Luca is enormous! They help local non for profits and are deeply involved in conservation efforts at many levels. Can't recommend them enough!

Certified Open Water Diver - I took my open water course with Dive Ninja. The first day was pretty rough for me (seasick, small panic attack) but the instructor was patient and supportive through it all. They were incredibly knowledgeable and the second day of the course went amazing. I would highly recommend them.

Awesome PADI instruction and dive operator in Cabo San Lucas - Our experience with Dive Ninja Expeditions was really excellent from beginning to end. I had been looking for an operator that was both recommended by PADI and with great reviews on TripAdvisor too, and this is how we found them. We booked through the WeTravel platform ahead of our trip and then exchanged emails to with Xochil at Dive Ninja Expeditions which made the process very simple, as she was super responsive and thoughtful. As a ready we were ready to get trained the day when we arrived in Cabo. The entire staff at Dive Ninja was both extremely friendly and professional. Victoria was our lead instructor and she demonstrated great commitment to our safety and instruction and made it easy to learn. With the assistance of Mercedes and Anika we we were in great hands so that when my son and I got certified we felt that we were ready. We then did a couple more dives with Dive Ninja and equally enjoyed our time. We would have done more dives with them, if only I had remembered to book those ahead of time (which sadly I did not, and the week between Christmas and New Year is very busy in Cabo). We will definitely use Dive Ninja Expeditions next time we are back in Cabo! PS: We also did a Whale Watching Tour with the same company and really enjoyed seeing so many humpback whales!

Fabien at Dive Ninjas gave me the courage to succeed in open water. - I am a 34 yr old female who was headed to Cabo to party, I had no intention of ever entering the water like that when I arrived in cabo. Fab is the greatest instructor in Cabo and turned my “party” vacation into a life changing experience that I traded partying for. I enrolled in the open water certification course solo and felt completely comfortable and safe. I most definitely trusted him and his team of instructors. When I walked by their booth at my hotel at Casa Dorada I instantly I felt safe talking to the Dive Ninjas about my bucket list goal of becoming a certified open water diver just as my Dad was. When I first meet the team I knew there was something special to experience and I knew that this was officially my time to learn to dive. I am honored to have been taught by Fab, and I look forward to diving with their team at Dive Ninjas again. Every time I return to Mexico I always contact them to get on their schedule for the duration of my trips. If I could give more stars I would, Fab and the Dive Ninjas are incredible people who helped open new doors for me as an official certified diver. Highly recommended, don’t go anywhere else.

PADI Open Water Certification - The PADI open water course we took with Dive Ninjas was exceptional. We were fortunate enough to have only two of us with one instructor. The entire team was great, and our instructor/guide Fabien was particularly amazing. The e-learning course has a lot of critical safety topics to go through, and the first time underwear in the ocean with the gear can be intimidating. However, Fab put us at ease with his great attitude, patience, communication, and his infectious passion for the sport. It was a great mix of getting through the required content, and experiencing the joy of diving. We also opted for two extra fun dives after having so much fun on the course. As long as you are prepared, all that’s needed on your side is to push through the initial fear and discomfort if you have it, and breathe! Fab and the Dive Ninja team will be there to keep you safe and help you discover the beauty below the surface.

Open Water Certification with Dive Ninjas & Fabien - I had an absolutely incredible experience with Dive Ninjas doing the PADI open water scuba diving course! Fab, our instructor, was absolutely outstanding. His expertise, patience, and enthusiasm made the learning process enjoyable and safe. He took the time to ensure we understood the theory and guided us through four breathtaking dives (plus two more dives after we were certified). Fab's professionalism and passion for diving were evident in every aspect of the course. The equipment provided was top-notch, and the dive sites were stunning. I felt confident and well-prepared thanks to Fab's thorough training. My friend and I left feeling like Fab was a friend rather than an instructor. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure. A big thank you to the entire Dive Ninja team, & Fab for being the best instructor!

PADI Open Water Course in Cabo - We went to Cabo solely to take the PADI open water course and heard great things from forums/websites regarding the Dive Ninja program. They did not disappoint. Our instructor was Victoria and Dive Master was Laura. Could not have asked for two better people to teach us how to scuba. They were extremely patient and detailed oriented throughout the entire course. You could tell right away how much passion they have for diving which made the experience fun and exciting every step along the way. I highly recommend the PADI open water course at Dive Ninja with Victoria as your instructor. You will learn a lot and have a great time doing it.

Dive Ninja 🥷 Fab is the best - Came out to CABO for my boys 40th birthday. I got my pool certification back in NYC and needed to get my open water dives to get my Padi certification. I found dive ninjas on line, it was highly rated and and looked legit. They were super professional and took great care of me. Fabian was my instructor, he was incredible, his dive computer has 2023 hours of diving on it, he was super knowledgeable and was really supportive. Helped me get though all of the tasks quickly so we could just dive, super good dude. He met up with us at the beach the next day for a drink. The beauty of dive ninja was it was a bit smaller than some of the other dive schools/businesses so it felt more intimate with less people so not crowded like some of the dive boats. All in all incredible experience.

Great instructor, highly recommend - Very glad I chose Dive Ninja for my open water course. I had a great time learning from my instructor, Fabien. He was thorough, patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and very professional. I always felt safe and comfortable with him throughout the course. A great teacher and a great person! The rest of the staff I met were also very kind and professional.

10/10 Would do again for first time - The experience was great and very fun. We had Fab as our instructor and he was extremely friendly and made the whole experience very enjoyable.It was our first time scuba diving and he took us through every step making sure we felt comfortable and understood the procedures. Once we had went through all the training we went out to the water and he took his time with us when we were in open water to make sure we felt safe and comfortable. Underwater he watched over us and pointed out all the amazing undersea life, took us slowly through the water so we can enjoy the views, and made it fun and enjoyable. They whole team there was great, from the front desk to the captain of the boat to the instructor. I highly recommend them for your first diving experience. Also it is not just for girls(small joke with the instructor)!
