Los Cabos is Baja diving with range. In the same trip you can dive high-relief granite reefs at Land's End, photograph schooling fish at Pelican Rock, and road-trip to Cabo Pulmo National Park for coral heads and dense biomass. Most dives are quick boat rides from Cabo San Lucas Marina or San Jose del Cabo, usually as 2-tank mornings. Expect seasonal temperature swings and occasional thermoclines; late summer to fall brings the warmest water, while winter can overlap with humpback whale season. Currents can be strong at offshore pinnacles and when swell wraps around the headland, so pick sites that match your comfort level.
