Neat camo - I was ready to call foul on the Snow Leopard - but FINALLY spotted him. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

I first went to Cabo San Lucas on a sailboat from Panama in 1962 and spent weeks diving all by myself all around the bay and the famous point. I returned to visit late last year. I loved it in 1962 and absolutely hated it in 2013. Just toooo damn touristy, crowded, he'll you can't even see the water/bay until you get out of town and high enough.
I will never go back but I am very fortunate that my wife and family prefer rustic, simple, authentic over whatever Cabo is today.
But you obviously have a delemna - 2 options 1). Ditch girlfriend <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin"> or 2). Find a compromise by finding something on the edge of the mess of downtown and on the water. Or stay in the mess that is Cabo but take day trips north towards Todos Santos to dive the Pacific Coast while girlfriend plays in town.
Another option is forget Cabo (my suggestion) and stay in La Paz or one of the other towns or one of the dive operators you mentioned and girlfriend gets beach time while you dive or better yet - she goes on the boat with you. This is why the SeaSniper and Ventas are better options IMHO.
April is still YT cool and green water season.
Here is a season guide that might help you.
Also Monster Slayer lives and dives Baja de Sur and can better guide you. Good luck.

I've been to 4, 10, 11, 29, 38 and very near12, 16, 23, and 33. Agree on some of the selections and wondered how these were selected. But the 5 locations I've been to (not all diving) really did have beautiful water - but not always.
Very subjective but did bring back great memories too.

Wish I had known about you when I lived in Singapore. Got to dive most of these locations - but recreational scuba leaving my spearguns and long fins back in Singapore

Dan - what is the latest on your 1.5 mm wetsuits?

I can't access/open the link either :nono:

Did I mention that I am insanely jealous!

Great detailed report.

I've only been to five of these

The whole time I wanted to send him my old full foot Cressi rubber fins that I used for years and years. But what really concerned me was the sharp coral, sea urchins, toad fish, stone fish, and all those sharp thingies he was stepping on :@

Beautifully done sir!

Welcome - I was fortunate enough to make a few dives around your beautiful island, enjoy your culture, food, and lovely ladies. Welcome and hope for photos to remind me of your beauty on land on in the sea,

Not 100% sure about the tunas but amazing depth. Wow.

I'd like to go sometime.
I would like to meet Joseba Kerejeta, Shery, Daryl Wong (not sure if he was there), Dan (in person) and other personalities... I like to talk shit... <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">
Marco - Daryl always goes to the Wild Blue. In fact, he invited me so I could meet him and Sheri but as much as I would have liked - not worth a flight, hotel room and expense for me. Maybe if I can combine it with a trip to the Keys - maybe.
-
If lived in South Florida I would go mostly to meet folks in person I've dealt with, bought from, or respect. But like Hank - nah wouldn't fly to Ft. Lauderdale for the show. Always wanted to meet Sheri as she is one of the pioneer women in our sport and a few others but conventions in general don't do much for me.

Like I said the good thing about the Blue Wild is that it's 15 minutes from my shop.
I stopped to talk to Sheri Daye, introduced myself and asked about the layout of the booths.
Not much else to tell, I only stayed about half an hour. After stopping by Tito's booth (Tito Spearguns) and saying hi, I headed for the exit. Passing by the Spearboard booth I saw the grogan talking a couple of girls into having their photo taken, called his name, snapped a photo and went home. For some reason he's reminding me of Michael Jackson, facelift maybe? IDK.
Loved it! <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin"> better than being there

LunkerBuster---there is no beach where we were today brother:)
We anchored 25yd out from a shear rock face that went 100f high above the water. I swam over to the rock face and looked down 70fsw to the bottom. WAY cool. We swam another 25yd out from the boat an there was NO BOTTOM
But I DO have pictures of a girl or 2
Please to remember that most of these girls here are asians an most have small boobies and small booties <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">Let us be the judge - Show the pic's
Interesting report - thanks.

That's great Hank. Yep - I was young once too but hey we survived and are still around to harass and make noice. So you have been in the saltwater produce area all of your life? Good for you - look forward to more stories and photos. By the way are the Tiger Shrimp selling well for you? Where is your market - U.S.A. I imagine and probably airlifted through Miami. Who sells them in the U.S for you?

Looks like a very fun day, thanks for posting those pics Hank. How are those trunkfish to eat? I've never eaten one myself.
Very good tasting - like Hank said there is boneless meat inside of the outer hard shell. I ate a few while living on a sailboat and diving on St. Thomas. The locals would cook them on the grill and pass you a joint while waiting for them to cook (I NEVER inhaled) - really. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin"> Great tasting actually.
