Cancellations & Policies

Your reservation and experience are very important to us. We understand that sometimes, unexpected things can occur and that we may need to make scheduling adjustments. All tours are subject to cancellation in the event of: We do not meet the minimum occupancy of people, we will refund 100% of deposit. Bad Weather conditions: We check weather forecasts constantly to ensure that the conditions are optimal for a open ocean adventure. If the forecast does not allow to go out (20-30 knots winds with 2-3 meters high waves), we will have to cancel the Tour and refund 100% of deposit. If WE need to cancel the trip for the reasons listed above or for any other reason, we will refund 100% of deposit or you can change your booking for another date.
If you need to cancel your reservation, we require at least 48 hours notice before the scheduled departure of your reservation. Our boats have limited seating, and many of our trips sell out. For this reason, we require that you cancel at least 48 hours before your scheduled trip. This will allow us to offer your spot to another guest. You may email us at cabosharkdiving@gmail.com or info@cabosharkdive.com between the Business Hours to cancel. Any cancellation or reschedule made less than 48 hours will result in a cancellation fee. The amount of the fee will be the deposit.
We know your time is valuable, and ours is too. Out of respect for our staff and our other clients, we ask that you give us at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel a reservation. If you cancel less than 24 hours or do not show up for the scheduled tour, for any reason, your credit card will be charged the full amount of the tour plus tax (16% IVA).

If you decide to cancel the tour more than 48 hours in advance of the departure we will refund 100% deposit. We don't refund any money in the unlikely event that we don't see sharks or in case the sea conditions or the animal behaviour doesn't allow to jump in the water and swim with sharks safely. In the very unlikely event of no shark sightings at all we will offer another cabo shark snorkeling or watching tour 50% discounted. Check details on the wilderness disclaimer section below. Since your safety is our priority the Dive Master has the right to not let people jump in the water or to quit the interaction anytime. We always do our best using all our skills and experience to attract sharks, but they are wild animals living in the big ocean. Sometimes the success of the trip depends form environmental factors that we can't control. We don't refund any money in case of sea sickness. We suggest to take Dramamine 45 minutes prior the departures to avoid sea sickness.

At CABO SHARK DIVE we use all means necessary to provide you with the safest interaction possible. We are diligent about checking the latest weather reports and updates to remain well informed. However, we are out in the open ocean, and if weather conditions do not cooperate, we may need to head back early. Although highly unlikely, there is a small chance you may not see a shark. Sharks are wild animals that lives in a big ocean, we’re not in a theme park or in an artificial environment with domesticated animals, nor would we want to be. The excitement of not knowing exactly what you will see or encounter in the open ocean is what makes this excursion so amazing. On the other hands, we are very good in what we do and we have many years of experience in attracting sharks in shark diving operations.

On every tour we do our best and everything is in our hands to get the best shark action, that's why we see sharks all year round in more than 90% of all our tours making hundreds of customers happy! In the very unlikely event that not a single sharks will show up, (0 sharks sighting either in the water or from the boat) we will offer you another tour 50% OFF THE REGULAR WEBSITE PRICE, FOR SHARK SNORKELING OR SHARK WATCHING TOUR, same of your original reservation! The voucher with the discounted ticket will be send by email and can be used the first day available, the company will confirm which day the voucher can be used. If you cannot use it during your staying in Cabo, you can use it next time you will come to Los Cabos again. THE VOUCHER HAS NO EXPIRATION DATE AND CAN BE USED ONE TIME ONLY. The Voucher cannot be transferred, resold and is nominative. If a shark will show up and is seen only from the boat this counts as shark sight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about our shark diving experiences.

At Cabo Shark Dive, we follow rigorous protocols, typical of the professional shark diving industry. These protocols are specifically implemented with tested and reliable safety measures to keep you safe.

No one has ever been bitten on a Cabo Shark Dive trip. Before allowing you into the water, we teach you proper shark diving techniques so that you, and the sharks, can stay as safe as possible.

We recommend guests bring their own toiletries, sea sickness medication, sunscreen, and cameras. Although the daytime temperatures are warm, we suggest a light jacket for after you exit the water, especially between January and April. Everything else is included in your trip.

All of our tours include photography services. This means that while you are in the water our shark will be capturing your amazing experience. We will edit, and send the photos to your email following the trip. All of the photos on our site are ones we have taken over the years, check out our gallery to see more.

Our Shark Diving Trips are snorkeling or freediving only, so you do not need to be scuba certified to go on this trip. The tour is open to everyone, from beginner to pro! For our scuba diving tour (with tanks), we require an Advanced Open Water Scuba Diving certification.

Our most popular tour, the half-day experience, includes water and light snacks. On the full-day tours, we include a box-lunch.

We have multiple dive locations both in the Pacific and Sea of Cortez, so it may vary slightly. For regular half-day tours, it usually takes 15-30 minutes to reach the location, and we never lose sight of the shore. On full-day tours or special long-range expeditions, it can take up to 2.5 hours.

Once we arrive at the location, the amount of time to see sharks is unpredictable. It depends on ocean currents, wind, and other variables. Sometimes sharks arrive within minutes, but it can take a few hours in some cases.

We allow unlimited time for snorkeling with sharks, but your safety is our top priority. If sharks begin to show aggression, your guide may ask you to exit the water for your safety.

Our tour is NOT a shark feeding tour. We use chum (fish oil and blood) in a closed "chum box" to attract sharks naturally without free access to the food. We source sustainable fish like mackerel and tuna from local fishing families.

Absolutely not! Snorkeling with sharks is safe and easy. You don’t need to be a strong swimmer or diver. Just float and enjoy the experience. We have life jackets available, and can accommodate all swimming proficiency levels.

Yes! Sharks swim close to the surface, and often you'll see their dorsal fins from the boat. You don’t need to dive underwater to witness the action up close.

YES! We are in the open ocean, and the waters of Cabo are filled with marine life, so anything could show up. In the past year, we have seen dolphins, sea lions, orcas, turtles, mantas, striped marlin, tuna, mobula rays, humpback whales, and more! Expect the unexpected.

Yes, and it’s so much fun! All pelagic sharks swim close to the surface following our chum line. They usually come very close to the boat and stay around for a long time!

Only us!! We are the only shark diving company in Los Cabos, and we have personally discovered most of our spots. No other divers or dive boats will be around, allowing for a calm, personalized experience.

All guests are required to fill out a Cabo Shark Dive Liability Waiver. You’ll be able to fill out the waiver on the day of the tour or online when you book.

Yes! We rent wetsuits, BCDs, and regulators.

We accept Credit Card, Cash, and Bank Wire. We charge 16% Mexican taxes (IVA) on credit card and bank wire payments. We accept credit cards in the form of Mastercard, Visa, and American Express.
