Local Intel For Whale’s Head
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Whale's Head is commonly used as a beginner dive in the Cabo corridor, with a shallow reef profile that also works well as a relaxed second dive.
Freedive
The shallow sandy-bottom profile can suit relaxed freedives in calm conditions, but this is better treated as a beginner reef than a freedive-specialty site.
Snorkel
Whale's Head also works for snorkeling because the reef starts shallow and marine life can be seen without committing to a deeper profile.
