The Desert Inn Hotel is located at the north end of town (just off the malecon) on a lovely palm covered beachfront. It is a great location to experience that Baja atmosphere. It is in a quiet area only a few blocks from the heart of town and is only a couple of blocks from Dolphin Dive Center and the marina. The hotel has 48 large spacious oceanfront rooms, all with private patios or balconys that overlook the islands off of Loreto where you can experience daily sunrises. After a day of diving, sit at the restaurant/bar or relax in the big swimming pool or play a game of billiards. Don't forget your C-Card!
Dolphin Dive Center offers all the scuba diving conveniences of a PADI International Resort operator! You can enjoy breakfast at your favorite hotel in Loreto and when you're finished we'll be waiting for you at the dive shop, pangas at the marina or beach, ready to go. The mornings are especially beautiful because the sun rises over the islands.
The shop provides a rinse tank for diving equipment and cameras. We also provide our exclusive safe storage/drying room for your gear. Also available are full rentals with dive computers. PADI courses offered are Openwater to Assistant Instructor, Referrals and Resort Courses. The facility is clean air certified to CGA standards.
Your day of diving includes 2-tanks, weights, boat, PADI divemaster as guide, plus snacks. Also included are your Loreto National Marine Park fees, and taxes.
You'll have access to our exclusive secure/locked drying room for your scuba gear, as well as rinse stations for your gear and camera equipment. No lugging gear, and no wet or sandy hotel rooms for you! Diving with us eliminates having to carry your gear through town, or having to look for a cab to get to the marina. Our dive shop is just 1/2 block from the marina and just blocks from most hotels, shops and restaurants. See our printable map for location. All prices in US Dollars.
