PELICAN ROCK (20 TO 90 Ft.): On the edge of the submarine canyon that forms San Lucas Bay. A beautiful wall dive leads to the famous sandfalls at 90 feet. Large congregations of big and small tropical fish abound. Rocky slopes are covered with gorgonians and graceful sea fans. It is not unusual to spot rays and big fish swimming out of the nearby deeper waters of the canyon. This is also an excellent night dive. Remember, the Bay of San Lucas is a national marine sanctuary so we take only pictures and leave only bubbles.
THE POINT (65 Ft): Located at Land's End where the Pacific Ocean joins the Sea of Cortez. Sea lions, turtles, morays and huge sea bass are common denizens of this topographically unique site. Marauding groups of game fish are brought in by large schools of bait fish such as sardines and green jacks. Just past the final pinnacle lies a shipwreck that forms a natural aquarium for divers and sea lions to play in!
NEPTUNE'S FINGER (60 to 120 Ft.): Sea fan covered rock outcroppings crown white sand slopes giving way to steep vertical granite walls and rocky ledges at 100'. This site is thick with gorgonians, octopus', abundant tropicals and an occasional sea horse! Largest of the two famous sand falls begins here at 100'.
WHALES HEAD (50 Ft.): Classic rock garden dive with a tremendous diversity of marine life living among the tumbling boulders and rock shelves. Take a light and explore the secrets of the many undercuts and crevices. A great dive for both experienced and beginning divers alike.
SANTA MARIA (45 to 60 Ft.): One of the region's prettiest beaches, Santa Maria Bay sits midway between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. A huge variety of tropical fish surround the graceful sea fans that line the rocks in the crystalline waters of this protected cove. A beautiful, tranquil spot for diving, snorkeling and photography.
THE BLOWHOLE (40 to 100 Ft.): The backside of a huge rock forms a wall covered in gorgonians. Small nurse sharks, guitarfish and turtles inhabit the area, along with a few large grouper and the occasional bat ray or eagle ray. The site gets its name from a small blowhole on shore.
CABO PULMO (30 to 60 Ft.): Not enough can be said about Cabo Pulmo! This remote pueblo is situated on one of the world's most breathtaking beaches and boasts the only living coral reef on the Pacific side of North America. A national marine sanctuary, this site is the most unique marine phenomena in the entire Sea of Cortez. Not only rich in marine life, this is a rare opportunity to experience a side of Mexico most tourists never see.
GORDO BANKS (100 TO 130 Ft.): This site rivals Cabo Pulmo and the San Lucas Bay submarine canyon among the prime dive sites in the area. Eight miles off the coast of San Jose del Cabo, the top of this sea mount lies under 110 - 130' of water. This is a favorite challenge for the most experienced divers. Often visited by heavy currents, this dive is the best bet for a chance to swim with the big pelagics, the hainmerheads, mantas and whale sharks. Even in their absence the dive is very exciting, providing depth and a water column teeming with fish.
