About this dive site
A Sea of Cortez reef comeback story you can dive today.
Cabo Pulmo National Park protects one of the richest hard-coral reefs in the Gulf of California after decades of recovery. Massive schools of jacks swirl above the reef while seasonal mobula rays pass in spring. Small day boats from the village keep access low-key and community-led.
Manta cleaning stations need calm positioning - let your guide set the line and keep a respectful distance. Calendar peak is July - October, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Cabo Pulmo National Park day to day, not just the map pin.
