Cabo San Lucas is located in the south of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. Although the city may be recognized for its amazing resorts and nightlife, there is a hidden treasure nearby waiting to be explored. Cabo Pulmo is a protected national marine park known for having the only living coral reef in western Northern America. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced scuba diver, you’ll be interested in the many different dive sites that Cabo Pulmo has to offer. Three of the most popular dive sites are listed below with a description of each. (Related: travel vacations, Puerto Vallarta vacation packages, Cancun vacation package)
-
El Cantil
In the West, this shallow dive is covered in small canyons and reef walls that house a wide variety of residents. Here you can find garden eels, parrot fish, moray eels, reef fish, and more. In the North, the site is deeper and flatter, where you’ll find reef sharks, yellow snappers, and goat fish, to name a few.
-
El Bajo
Surrounded by sand and vegetation, you can see many tropical fish and turtles here. Since this dive has amazing depths, at times you can spot Whale Sharks, Mobulas, and Humpback Whales.
-
Los Frailes Bay
This is a great area for night diving, where you can see eels, pufferfish, lobster, parrotfish, and more. At Los Frailes Sea Lion Colony, you and your non-diver friends can meet to experience the sea lions there, which are usually here between January and October.
El Cantil, El Bajo, and Los Frailes are only a few of the dive sites that Cabo Pulmo has. If you’re considering visiting Cabo San Lucas, you should put scuba diving on your to-do list.
