Cabo Diving

Diving in the Sea of Cortez is an unforgettable experience, with shipwrecks, caves, reefs, and sandfalls to explore. Where you go depends on your expertise. Snorkeling tours are perfect for just a taste of the underwater world. Dive Locations near Cabo include: Anegada, Land's End, The Blowhole, Cabo Pulmo, Socorro Island, Gorda Banks, La Larga and the Sand Falls. Cabo is unique in that several great snorkeling and scuba diving sites are only a 15 to 25 minute boat ride from the downtown marina.

Diving conditions are great all year. June to December offer the greatest visibility, warmest water and longest periods of calm weather. Visibility often exceeds 100 feet, and the temperature averages between 78 and 85 F.

The Cabo San Lucas Bay provides excellent diving conditions. A deep submarine trench closely follows the bay and creates an unusual marine environment that attracts an abundance of marine life. Here the water is warm and the currents are gentle.

All types of dive experiences can be satisfied here, from shallow to deep, night to wreck dives, from playful sea lions to the elusive sea horse. Large congregations of fish are seen on the rocky slopes covered with gorgonians and graceful sea fans. Sea lions, turtles, eels and huge gropers are common sights here.

Divers with experience below 30 meters might want to see the vast submarine canyon which starts just 164 feet off Playa del Amor. This canyon is famous for its 'sandfalls', which are streams of sand tumbling over the canyon rim, forming sand rivers between large rock formations. At about 40 meters they become sheer granite walls, dropping vertically for over 9,000 feet.
