We are a small dive center in Loreto, Baja California Sur, the Aquarium of the World!

We are the most specialized dive operation in the area and the one that can cater to more demanding and advanced customers, also the only one offering mixed gases, like NITROX and tek diving.

After its 5 years of operation, the dive shop has become the most reputable and highest-rated tour operator in Loreto (Source: Tripadvisor, Google reviews, social media reviews) over a long stretch. This includes not only diveshops but all the other existing tour operators. It’s also one of the best-ranked dive shops in Baja Sur by the same sources. This status has been sustained for the last 3 years straight.

We run a small, but very successful operation. We work all year round. We count on everything you need to start working from day 1, including our own 27-foot dive/snorkel boat, BAUER DMT Elite compressor, car + boat trailer, 30+ tanks, +50 wetsuits, +20 BCDs, and 15 regulators. We will continue running the shop until the new management comes along, so you will be profitable from the beginning.

We love this company, it's our baby, and would like to help you into the smoothest transition we can so you are successful and our/your customers don't notice a thing :)

We initially came to Loreto, one of the most beautiful places there is in Baja, because of the unspoiled nature, a ludicrous amount of wildlife, and of course, this slow tropical lifestyle! Even if we are moving on to other projects now, we will remain here as we love the place, and you will love it too! The diving is incredible and the amount of sites is almost endless.

Happy to help with anything and provide all the information you might need. We have a presentation dossier with info about us, the company, and all the financials on request.

Property Information

Real Estate:

Lease

Location:

2 locations: the reail shop in the historical centre (downtown). The base of operations where we keep the equipment is located 2 minutes away by car.

Business Operation

Expansion Potential:

Plenty. Loreto is booming. It's the fastest growing location in Baja Sur. We already have the numbers and tourist flow to expand double the size of the current state of the bussiness.

Competition / Market:

There is a very low competition right now and we have our niche pretty much undisputed. Loreto is growing fast so we expect bigger companies to settle in in the following years.

Reasons for selling:

We are very proud of what we have created here and we love how Business has succeeded and become the reference that it is today. The company has been kept small as this is the way we like it, but our success and the growth of Loreto is asking the company to expand. We reject a lot of business' and although that is a great problem to have, there is potential that is not being used.
We feel that we have completed this cycle and it’s time to move on other small sized projects that are more compatible with the life we want to lead in the following years. We prefer somebody else to take the lead and grow the company to match the growth of the destination. We will remain in Loreto as we love this place and is our home, and will continue to introduce new projects here and hope to collaborate with the new owners of business and help keeping it great. But we think it’s time for other people to grow the project to the extent of their desires and the market volume that Loreto is achieving.
We will still be an active part of the diving community here, we will just do it for fun this time :)

Trading hours:

Monday to Saturday, Sundays are off. The shop is open from 9 AM to 1 PM & 2 to 6 PM, and the tours are from 7:45 AM to 1:30-2 PM depending on chosen destination.
