Night Dive in Cabo

Reveal a new fascinating underwater world with Manta Scuba night dive. Join our team of professionals for a fantastic adventure when the underwater scene changes and nocturnal creatures like Stingrays, octopuses, Lobsters, and many more emerge.

Night Scuba diving: a whole new world

Night dives are a completely different experience than day dives. The vibe is different, the setting & scene change, marine life is different, and you can get a fresh look and a new perspective on the diving site.
Darkness brings out all kinds of fascinating marine life. Day creatures retire, and nocturnal organisms and night creatures like Lobsters, Stingrays, Octopuses, Crabs, Parrotfish, Seaworms, and more emerge.

The scene and setting are also different. Even the simple dive site looks different at night, so you can only imagine what a spectacle you’ll watch at Pelican Rock, where we usually take our night dives.
Our dive lights will illuminate the walls and reveal a dazzling display of colors that cannot be seen during the day. You can also spot flowering orange-cup corals, which are fascinating.

The living scene is also different as night hunters come out. You can spot octopuses and cuttlefish hunting, Parrotfish sleeping inside their protection bubble, and more.
Night dives are more relaxed and easy-going. Since it’s dark and the only area we can see is the one lit by our light, we take our time, dive slowly, and concentrate on that one area, not on the surroundings like in day dives.
This allows us to spot marine life in unexpected places and other sights that can not be seen during the day. Night dives are a calm and unique experience under the moonlight, one that you don’t want to give up.

Your night dive with Manta Scuba

Manta’s PADI-certified Divemasters led a small group of certified divers on this trip. Divers need to dive with us during the day before the night dive.
We recommend that all divers experience day diving at the site to get to know it better.
We meet at the Manta’s facilities upon sunset for a short recap with our PADI masters. You’ll get a tank, whites, and dive lights. You can rent a full set at the store.
After getting the gear, we head off to the boat for a short 5-10-minute ride to the dive site. The ride is taken in comfortable, fully equipped, custom-made dive boats, where you can enjoy the beautiful view of Cabo at night. The entire trip takes about 2 hours.

Once we get to the site, the adventure starts.

The Cabo Marine Reserve – scuba diving Cabo San Lucas
The unique underwater landscapes and vibrating marine life make Pelican Rock one of the most famous diving sites in the world.
The diving conditions are usually excellent since it is inside the Bay of Cortez. This allows us to dive calmly at night while still enjoying numerous night-time creatures like Lobsters, Crabs, Seaworms, Stingrays, and octopuses.
