Most underwater weddings we’ve seen are cheesy at worst, or at best just a not-very-good dive. Now comes pretty much the sweetest underwater wedding we’ve ever seen, and in Cabo, a spot already hugely popular for destination weddings that's becoming a more popular destination for scuba-diving vacations.

Nautilus Dive Tech, a full-service scuba training and technical/rebreather dive facility just a few blocks off the main seaside drag in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, has come up with a concept that makes underwater weddings more than a novelty dive.

Nautilus Dive Tech staff created a removable steel arbor decorated with relief-metal sculpture of sea creatures. They also constructed a removable railing system, so members of the scuba-diving wedding party have something to hold onto and aren’t just hovering in a pack; it also offers security in the event of surge. Instead of rice, the underwater officiant releases fish food on the lovely, bright patch of sand near the Pelican Rock dive site where the wedding services are held, not far from Cabo's famously romantic Arch. (“Rehearsals” are held in Nautilus Dive Tech's on-site training pool.) Special SMBs labeled “Just Married” are deployed after the underwater ceremony.

One of the most appealing features of Nautilus Dive Tech's approach is the 100 meters of cable that can carry video of the underwater wedding ceremony to a closed-circuit TV that can be set up on a variety of boats for non-diving family and guests (the wedding party uses Nautilus Dive Tech’s boat The Abyss). Also possible: an option to relay the video by WiFi from the boat to the Internet, so even distant friends and family can watch the underwater wedding in more or less real time.

Nautilus Dive Tech and Land's End Films teamed up to produce this video to show scuba-diving brides-to-be what’s possible. But be warned: More than one diver in our office got a little teary over this one.
