The dive sites located inside the bay of Cabo San Lucas are within the boundaries of the Marine Protected Area and thus have healthy rock reef systems with plentiful life to the enjoyment of our divers. There are 5 proper sites indicated on the dive site map of Cabo, each with a description listed below.

• Lands End - Shallow to Max Depth 80 feet/22 meters

  Diving Lands End, the most southern rocky reef of the Baja Peninsula, always begins with a conditions check. It is here that 3 oceanic currents converge, part of the reason so much life lives and passes by the site.

  This is also where we encounter sea lions regularly. The sea lions make their colony on a rock in the shade of Lands Ends large monolith, but frequently enter the water to play, visit divers and feed on the baitfish like sardines that swarm here.

  As well, the rock faces of Lands End are covered in coral growth and bathed in many types of reef fish; parrotfish, butterfly, angel fish, rays, eels, gobies, blennies, sea horses, frogfish, wrasse and more. Often huge schools of snapper and grunts congregate on the ocean side, harassed by large grouper, machete fish and the occasional white tip reef shark.

• Neptunes Finger - Shallow to beyond recreational limits

  A rocky crag extends from the deep walls pointing up into the sky, named for the ‘God of the Deep’ – Neptune. This site is appropriate for both beginners and advanced divers, with shallow and deep profiles possible.

  Neptune’s Finger is a series of deep rocky walls that meet sand channels and shallow rocky reefs. Deep along the walls you may see schools of barracuda, eagle rays, cow nose rays, mobula rays, snapper, and creole fish all with the usual attendant groupers looking for a fish snack.

  On the shallow reef, which is great to explore during safety stops, you will find coral encrusted rock faces teeming with Moorish Idols, butterfly fish, scorpion fish, blennies, gobies, eels, sea horses and angel fish.

• South Wall - Deep Dive only

  There is a deep wall that runs between Pelican Rock and Neptune’s Finger, the average depth along the wall is about 100 feet/30 meters and so is appropriate for Advanced Divers.

  Diving along the crest of the wall you can encounter pristine coral formations, schools of large fish like snapper, barracuda, and jacks. Keep an eye out into the blue for occasional schools of mobula and cow nose rays, tuna passing by and groupers stalking along the wall.

  We usually run this as a drift dive, the boat meeting us along the wall towards Neptune’s Finger.

• Pelican Rock - shallow to beyond recreational limits

  Here the undersea wall in the Bay of Cabo runs closer to shore and there are numerous small rocky islets near to shore with plentiful marine life to explore. Pelican Rock is one of our favorite sites, shallow and deep profiles are possible, but we do prefer to dive it first thing in the morning before the area gets too busy

  On the rock walls of Pelican Rock you will find plentiful coral, sponge and algae growth. This has made for a great environment for the many invertebrates like octopus, nudibranch, snails, crabs and seahorses that we find nestled in the nooks and crannies.

  Fish seen on this dive include; coronet fish, angel fish, creole fish, frog fish, moorish idols, angels, butterfly fish, gobies, blennies, trigger fish, schools of snapper, and grouper. We regularly see many species of eel and ray as well. This is a great site to dive in Cabo San Lucas Marine Park.

• North Wall

  The site closest to the Marina, it takes about 5 minutes by boat to reach. The wall is topped with a sandy slope that starts at only 4 meters, the crest of the wall varying between 7 and 11 meters. This is a good site for those who like to go slow and explore, or for check out dives, or for PADI Discover Scuba Diving participants.

  This is also the most protected site in the area and rarely has current or surge. However, the marine life is still impressive. Instead of a sheer wall or rocky islets to explore, North Wall is more sloping with a jumble of large rocky formations that drop off to a deeper wall.

  On the dive we see many species of puffer fish, butterfly, angel, coronet, eels, frog fish, sea horses, grouper, creole fish, schools of chromis and damsel, lobsters and reef stingrays.
