Dive Ninja Expeditions opens first PADI Freediving Center in Los Cabos
Dive Ninja Expeditions have announced the opening of the first PADI Freediving Center in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. This new PADI Freediving Center is the first in the entire Baja California peninsula, and offers a full menu of PADI & SSI freediving courses in Cabo San Lucas, as well as specialized workshops and tours.
Dive Ninjas has spent the last few years extensively exploring the Baja peninsula creating unique dive expeditions – such as their Striped Marlin Sardine Run and Mobula Ray Expeditions. During their time in Baja they began to notice that many regions offered a wealth of unique freediving experiences. Its unique geographic location places Cabo right at the meeting point of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez – with each body of water running up the two coasts of the narrow peninsula.
The waters around the Baja peninsula play host to an incredible array of both migratory and resident species which creates numerous great opportunities for freediving with everything from mako sharks to sea lions, whale sharks, oceanic mantas, devil rays, marlin and so much more.
Los Cabos offers a diverse range of freediving sites from rocky coral reefs, full of life to deep, blue water areas, perfect for depth training. The new freediving training center at Dive Ninjas allows guests to be able to learn to freedive in Cabo San Lucas, or brush up on skills, before heading out with Team Ninja to explore these great encounters.
The team worked with Amancay Freediving, one of Mexico’s top freediving schools, to build their unique program. But the new ninja freediving center isn’t only focused on courses. To take it a step further they’ve developed specialized freediving tours such as a day trip that takes you to reconnect with nature while freediving at a natural freshwater oasis fed by a small waterfall in the desert mountains. Following the Dive Ninja mantra of being a true ecotourism operator they have also developed various citizen science & conservation based tours, expeditions, and workshops for freedivers. Their newest program takes guests to freedive with wild dolphins and aims to help raise awareness on the issues of dolphin captivity and exploitation.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
