Diving with Mako and Blue Sharks in Cabo

Just off the coast of Cabo San Lucas, you get the chance to swim with two of the ocean’s most fascinating predators, mako and blue sharks.

Makos are fast and powerful, while blue sharks are sleek and curious. It’s wild to see them up close, circling around you with that mix of confidence and curiosity that only top predators have.

The adventure starts with a boat ride out into the deep blue, where the water is crystal clear, and the ocean feels endless. As soon as you get in, the excitement kicks in.

Blue sharks are usually the first to show up, gliding by with their beautiful blue color and chill vibe. They’re curious and might come in close just to check you out.

If a mako shows up, everything changes. They’re quick, agile, and intense—you can feel the energy shift as they zoom past.

My husband and I went on this trip a few years back and had an incredible encounter with a blue shark.

Our only regret is that we only had one day on the water.

For the best experience, plan to spend a few days searching for sharks. This maximizes your chances of coming face-to-face with these remarkable ocean hunters.
