LOCAL DIVING, CABO SAN LUCAS
Known for its amount and variety of marine life, the
Sea of Cortez is an awesome place for diving. There are hundreds
of species of fish, rays, sea lions and pelagics. Our local diving
sites are located in the bay of Cabo San Lucas in the Sea of Cortez.
The sites are 10 minutes boat ride from the beach. All the sites
are located next to edge of the rocks and are great for beginners
as well as experienced divers.
 Pelican
Rock & The Sand Falls
Bottom at the beginning of the dive 20ft.
We'll dive next to walls and slopes covered
with seafans. There are tropical fish everywhere, schools of mexican
goat fish, eels, angelfish, parrotfish, lobsters, spotted box fish
and puffers. We might also meet our local whitetip reef shark. We'll
see frogfish and sometimes schools of jacks and rays passing by.
In this dive we'll pass above the famous sand falls.
 Neptune's
Finger
Bottom at the beginning of the dive 25ft.
In this dive we'll swim next to huge boulders covered with seafans.
Sponges and gorgonias, tropical fish, eels, guitarfish, sometimes
stingrays and mobule rays as well as turtles passing by.
 The
Point or 'Land’s End'
Bottom at the beginning of the dive 25ft—where there are sometimes
currents. In this great trip we'll dive next to the most southern
rock of Baja—south from here is nothing but sea… We'll
dive with our playful sea lions just next to the colony. When the
sea is calm, we'll enter a canyon were they like to play and hang
out. We'll see lots of fish, eels, angelfish, parrotfish, garden
eels, spotted box fish puffers, giant hawkfish and barberfish. Sometimes
we see schools of jacks, tunas, barracudas, herrings, and turtles
passing by.
 
North Wall
Bottom at the beginning of the dive 10ft.
The North Wall is a great dive for beginners and resort course/introductory
divers as well as for more experienced divers. This rock-covered
slope makes a great home for eels, puffers, lobsters and tropical
fish. Sometimes we see diamond- and bullseye stingrays. We might
also meet our local whitetip reef shark.

The Corridor
Just northeast of Cabo San Lucas, lies the area known as the “Corridor”
that contains many great diving spots (some well-known and some
are “our little secret”).
Here are a few of the well-known ones: Whales Head,
Santa Maria, Blow Hole, Chileno, Twin Dolphin, Gavilan.
Dives at these sites can go from deep to very shallow.
You'll see unique and amazing rock formations, gigantic boulders,
underwater canyons, colorful schools of tropical fish, and occasionally
turtles and rays.
