Description
of the "Great Local Dive Sites"
CHILENO
BAY
30' TO 70'. A breath-taking bay known for its diving and snorkeling.
Large rocky reef with coral trees and a large variety of schooling
tropical fish. Sea turtles and eels are often seen here.
SAND
FALLS
Discovered by Jacques Costeau, the Sand Falls start at 90
feet and descends to 120 feet. Steep sand banks cascading into the
canyon with many tropical fish.
SANTA
MARIA
To 40'. A sheltered cove great for snorkeling and diving.
Colorful gorgonians and sea fans line the rock walls where colorful
tropical reef fish are in abundance. Great dive for the photographer.
SEA
LION COLONY
30' - 70'. Join the sea lions in their own habitat.
This dive gives even the novice diver an excellent opportunity to
join and observe the sea lions.
LA
ANEGADA
Starting at 20 feet this area slopes down to 80 feet where
you find the tip of the Cabo San Lucas Canyon Wall which sinks straight
into the abyss. Lined with sea fans and vast amounts of schooling
fish, this dive is one of Cabo's best and most versatile dive sites.
WHALES HEAD - 30' to 60'. With spectacular rock formations, this
spot is known to be home to sea turtles, octopus and moray eels.
Small nurse sharks and guitarfish sometimes inhabit this area.
Day Trips
Cabo
Pulmo
Cabo Pulmo is the only true living coral reef in western
North America. Rich in an abundance of tropical fish. A National
Marine Sanctuary. This is a photographer's paradise. A 2 hour dive
from Cabo San Lucas. 30' to 80' beginning to advanced divers.
Gordo
Banks
Because of the depth and currents, this dive is for the
experienced diver only. This sea mount which is 4 miles off the
coast of San Jose Del Cabo, lies under 90' to 130' of water. Here
schools of hammerheads, jacks, and dolphins can be seen just a few
feet below the surface. Manta rays, bull sharks and whale sharks
are sometimes encountered here. DAILY SCUBA BOAT TRIPS
Boats depart daily for a very short ride to the local dive sites.
At 10:00 am you can depart for a 2 tank dive. At 2:00 pm you can
depart for a 1 tank dive. The site for these dives depends on weather
and water conditions on that day.
