Upon arrival at the San Jose Del Cabo airport (SJD), you will be greeted and transferred to the marina complimentary as long as it is on the check in and check out date. If you are already staying in the area, feel free to make your own way to the Marina named “Puerto Los Cabos” by 6:00 PM. All guests must be onboard by 18:00 on all itineraries so the Valentina departs at 21:00.

If you'd like to arrive in the area earlier, we can help with hotel arrangements. It's not a bad idea to ensure your bags make it before the boat departs! You can stay in San Jose Del Cabo or head a bit further south to Cabo San Lucas.

Roca Partida
A pinnacle surrounded by life
This huge reef towers right in the middle of the open ocean. The wall drops quickly to 70-80 meters. You can find large schools of Black Jacks plus passing Mantas and Silver Tip Sharks. This is also where you can see schooling Hammerhead Sharks, and at the right time of year, Whale Sharks and Tiger Sharks!

San Benedicto Island
San Benedicto is a submerged, large sea mount rising from the bottom of the sea. This is the place to see Giant Mantas plus migratory fish such as Big Eye Jack, Greater Amberjack, and Black Jack. Hammerhead Sharks and Bottlenose Dolphins also like to visit -- you never know with what you may encounter!

San Benedicto Island
Another Manta hotspot! Imagine a large Manta reaching 4 meters fin tip to fin tip, or a Black Manta circling over you. It's incredible! You may hear Humpback whales singing in the distance, and lucky divers can even meet the Humpback Whales underwater. You never know who may appear out of the blue...

Absolutely the best trip ever!! Amazing people, beautiful views, learned a few new things and improved my skills. I would absolutely recommend Blue Planet to anyone.

Thank you so much, Emily! We were thrilled to have you join us, and to share the magic of mermaids in Roatan! Can't wait to sea you again soon!

We love Bonaire and Buddy Dive Resort (except for the terrible bed) is wonderful. Thank you BluePlanet for yet another lovely experience. Penny and Patrick.

By Penny H for Bonaire: Shore Diving Paradise on Sep 26, 2025

We're so glad you both enjoyed Bonaire and the trip! Can't wait to have you two on another one!

This was a great trip. It was well organized with lots of opportunities for diving - both from the shore and the boat. There are tons of dive sites throughout the island and the dive shop provides 24-hr access to unlimited O2 and Nitrox tanks. Dive staff was great. Hotel rooms are like small apartments with kitchenette and a car is included in the cost of the trip. The restaurant on site is not the greatest but there are lots of close alternatives. Wonderful trip - highly recommend!

By Christine D for Bonaire: Shore Diving Paradise on Sep 15, 2025

Thanks, Christine! It was great having you on the trip and so glad to hear you had a wonderful time. Congrats on your Advanced Open Water certification and we hope to have you join us for another trip!

Excellent trip executed by Blue Planet! For my new Junior Open Water Diver, the Blue Heron Bridge was the perfect place to take him with so much life the hides beneath it, the boat dives were amazing too. My little guy is looking forward to booking another dive trip already. I appreciate how organized everything is and how smooth Heather and Jonas makes dive trips run.

By Marie T for Weekend Getaway to West Palm Beach on Aug 20, 2025

Yay! We're thrilled to hear your new buddy is ready for his next trip! It was such a pleasure diving with you both. Can't wait for the next one!

By Blue Planet Scuba on Aug 20, 2025

I had a great time on this trip! This was a short and fun getaway packed with diving! We had night and morning dives at Blue Heron Bridge plus some boat dives to see the Goliath Groupers. The sea life on the bridge was amazing! The accommodations were great and group dinners were fun. Thank you for a trip well planned and executed! Make sure to check out the turtle 🐢 center on your non- dive day before you head out.

By Tara L for Weekend Getaway to West Palm Beach on Aug 19, 2025

Thanks so much, Tara! We are so glad you had a good time on the trip. AND got to visit the Loggerhead Marinelife Center too! Looking forward to the next one with you!
