Diving Cabo. Is it worth it?
I just got my feet back on the ground after an epic dive trip to Cabo San Lucas. Eight days and seven nights spent blowing bubbles with the amazing Nautilus Dive Tech team, all while enjoying the gracious hospitality and comfort of their private, three-bedroom, three-bath, on-site casa!
While I have many, MANY things to say about this trip, I thought I would just sum it all up in one brief post.
Where IS Cabo San Lucas?
For those edukated in the US, Cabo is at the tip of the little dangly bit just left of the country below us. For everyone else, Cabo San Lucas sits nestled between the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula.
