La Lobera - Coronado Island Planning Details
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
10m - 30m
Depth Note
Public Loreto dive references describe La Lobera as a boat-only wall site that is commonly dived from about 10 m down to around 30 m, with the deeper wall section being the main advanced draw.
Best Season
Usually most comfortable in calmer late-spring through fall weather windows, when Loreto commonly has warmer water and clearer conditions. Winter northerlies can make exposed-island dives less reliable.
Typical Conditions
Expect a blue-water boat dive on an exposed island wall with better comfort in calm weather, moderate depth, and occasional mild moving water depending on wind and site orientation.
Safety & Access At La Lobera - Coronado Island

Access Restrictions
Boat access from Loreto is the standard approach, and operators may swap or skip exposed Coronado sites when wind or sea state is unfavorable.
