## FAQ

**Should a certified diver book two tanks or three tanks in Cabo?**

Choose the Reserve Two Tank Dive for a half day in the reserve; choose Three Tank Scuba, Marine Reserve and Corridor if an extra dive and both areas justify a longer outing. For example, Cabo San Lucas Reserve Two Tank Dive costs €129 per person, rated 4.94 from 287 reviews. Three Tank Scuba, Marine Reserve and Corridor costs €191 per person, rated 4.93 from 208 reviews. Both require certification. Browse certified dive options: https://guidekin.com/mexico/los-cabos/scuba-diving-los-cabos/

**How much does scuba diving in Cabo cost, and how long should I allow?**

Set aside half a day for local Cabo diving and a full day for the out-of-town option; shared listings have a median price of €130 per person, with gear extra on some. Local listings have a median duration of 4 hours; the out-of-town median is 10 hours. The middle half of shared prices runs from €128 to €150 per person. For example, Two Tank Dive, Santa Maria and Chileno Bays costs €136 per person, rated 4.91 from 187 reviews. Scuba equipment costs extra. Browse shorter dive outings: https://guidekin.com/mexico/los-cabos/scuba-diving-los-cabos/?duration_max=5 · Filter dives by price: https://guidekin.com/mexico/los-cabos/scuba-diving-los-cabos/?price_max=150

**When is a private dive boat worth considering instead of a shared trip?**

A certified party wanting full gear and a chosen departure time should shortlist the Private Dive Boat; divide its boat price by your party size to judge the cost per diver. For example, Private Dive Boat for Certified Divers costs €636 per boat, rated 4.97 from 217 reviews. Shared trips have a median price of €130 per person. This is a spread between different products, not a premium for the same dive: the private boat includes full gear, while some shared dives charge equipment rental separately.
