The workshop begins and ends in La Paz, Mexico. You'll be picked up from SJD or LAP airport and taken to the Costa Baja Hotel. On dive days, transportation will be provided from the hotel to the marina for boat trips to Los Islotes. For classroom days, you'll be transported to the Dive Gurus office. You'll also have free time to explore the town and go shopping.

We offer a total of 9 snorkeling activities over the course of 6 days (you have the option to dive with the Sea Lions if you wish). We require that you do not dive within 24 hours prior to your flight. If you are leaving late the following day and would like to arrange a dive on the last day, you can arrange one with the Dive Gurus for an additional cost.

Depending on where you’re flying out of, the closest airports to La Paz are Manuel Márquez de León International Airport (LAP) or Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), the latter being a two-hour drive to La Paz.

To enter Mexico, the government requires a valid passport, a completed migratory form (distributed on the plane), and an equipment carnet (refer to your travel checklist above).
