Gear for Thriving and Diving in Cabo Pulmo
Essential gear for exploring cabo pulmo
work with a view
Starting the day with a little work isn’t so bad with sunrise views like this. I find the best view of the village from the roof of my casa. With my EcoFlow RIVER mini Portable Power Station, I can stay up here for hours uninterrupted by power requirements.
The EcoFlow RIVER mini Portable Power Station includes 210Wh of power at hand and can power up to eight devices at once with a variety of ports. Small enough to be conveniently tucked away when not in use, powerful enough to earn a spot in your pack.
Bring EcoFlow’s portable power stations along on your next off-grid adventure.
set up your basecamp kitchen
Walking a short distance from our rental, we meet up with our friends who are camping with other overlanders and vanlifers at Playa Miramar. We share plans for the day as the water reaches the perfect boil for coffee on their Jetboil Genesis Basecamp System in just three minutes.
Requiring only a one-pound propane bottle, Jetboil's dual-burner system includes a 5-liter Jetboil FluxPot and a 10-inch ceramic-coated nonstick frying pan.
Find the perfect Jetboil stove for an elaborate spread or heating up your instant meals.
get fitted for fins
Today, we’ve planned two dives at three locations. Quality gear is essential for diving and SCUBAPRO is one of our most trusted brands. In hand, we carry our SCUBAPRO Seawing Nova Open Heel Fins. Open fins are best for cold water diving, allowing for the combo of fin boots that keep our feet warm. We stroll through the village with our gear and head to the panga.
SCUBAPRO creates innovative diving gear with advancements in design, materials, and construction. More power and less muscle strain while giving you the power and pivot you need.
Fit into your fins with SCUBAPRO.
THE CENTRAL HUB FOR YOUR DIVING RIG
We’ve made it to the pristine white beach where we’re meeting other divers for this excursion. Slung over my shoulder is my SCUBAPRO Hydros Pro Air2 BCD which houses my hoses and tank and includes various points to clip more accessories. The injection-molded Monprene gel harness conforms to my body for a perfect fit. I double-check my gear and carefully stash it inside the panga.
A rugged, reliable BCD does more than keep you afloat. A comfortable BCD is the central hub for your gear and should fit perfectly. SCUBAPRO has been consistently top-rated across multiple points of comfort and safety.
Use SCUBAPRO’s BCD Finder for a customized BCD suggestion for your next dive.
essential for repetitive dives
Ten minutes later, we’re at our first dive site. The water is cold but refreshing and I feel secure in my gear. We’re anticipating seeing humpback and grey whales at this time of year. I’m grateful for my Aqua Lung i550C Dive Computer with a full suite of features to keep me safe and focused on my dive. At a glance, I can check the temperature, depth, and gas time remaining.
Aqua Lung has been an innovator in the diving industry for more than 75 years. Bright colors, app compatibility, and pre-dive planning tools make their computers a first choice for any diver—novice or experienced.

breathe better
Highly awarded for its signature breathing performance, the Atomic Aquatics B2 Regulator Yoke Sealed Style allows us to breathe in a natural rhythm, unlike any other regulator.
At the surface of the water, we use our Atomic SV2 Semi-Dry Snorkel to save air while waiting to descend.
Atomic Aquatics’ patented regulator innovation includes a simple airflow adjustment device to automatically compensate for the effects of depth. All Atomic Aquatics’ products are a result of answering why it exists, what it should do better or differently, and how it can improve the diver’s experience.

from head to toe
A great diving mask fits comfortably without adjustments. Upwelling in winter can reduce visibility but luckily, I see the whales, turtles, squid, and enormous walls of amberjack clearly through my Jupiter diving mask.
Paired with my open-heel fins, my Classic 3MM Boots keep my feet warm in the cold winter waters in Cabo Pulmo.
Mares proudly supports the Blue Oceans project. Mares has been on a mission to reduce their dependency on plastic in an effort to better care for the environment.

capture a whole new world
Pics or it didn’t happen, right? Sharing my experience through photography is half the fun. I trust my Sony A7R III V.3 Series UW camera housing kit with 8" Dome port to keep my gear dry and operational underwater. This housing kit is created specifically for underwater content but doubles as protection from other elements like sand and dirt while I travel.
SeaFrogs creates professional housing units, accessories, lights, and more for Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Olympus, and Panasonic cameras.

ride in vintage style
My dog Rona begs for his own tour of Cabo Pulmo so we set out to stroll the small town. On a dusty street, we pass our friends Kyle and Jodie on their Kawasaki W175. I smile and nod in their direction. Rona and I carry on our exploration for another hour until we’ve seen all that we can see.
Kawasaki has been a leader in the motorcycle industry since 1966. With the motto, “let the good times roll,” you can’t go wrong with one of these fun bikes to compliment your travels. Follow in Kyle and Jodie’s tracks and opt for a vintage model not sold online.
