Actually, you would do pool dives up here too -just the open water stuff down there. Ideally, you want to call the shop ahead of time and make sure your local shop gets all the necessary paperwork down to the cabo shop so when you arrive, you do your open water dives and then can spend any extra water time doing full dives.
I feel your pain when your travel partner isn't a diver. If you're luck, a good dive outfit is either on your resort or nearby. You can often do a morning dive and be back in plenty of time for other activities. My wife is pretty forgiving on that front. She'll have a lazy morning with our son while I dive and then from ~11 or 12 onwards we do stuff together.
The only other option is for you to take a separate trip sometime with a diving buddy and just dive, dive, dive (and leave the lady at home).
I would make sure you complete all the needed dives while you're there. I don't know how long before they 'expire' but it's only a few dives so just get them done. If you're like me, your once a year trip is pretty much your ONLY chance to dive all year so make the most of it !
