| The waters off of Cabo San Lucas usually offer excellent diving. Snorkelers and Scuba divers will both find what they're looking for here, and then some! Sea life is plentiful, and there is usually very little 'surge' on the Sea of Cortez side of Cabo. Out around the Arch the swells can cause some rougher waters near the surface, but the diving is usually calm at the sand and rock bottom at 30 feet. The ocean water temperature usually runs from 70 degrees in winter, to 85 degrees in summer. Depending on varied circumstances such as ocean currents and El Nino's, these numbers can run a little higher or lower. As an example, some winters the water drops into the mid 60's, and during some summer months the water gets into the low 90's. The ocean visibility is usually very good most of the year. Aside from the short periods of rain caused by Chubascos, visibility in summer is generally very good, often reaching 60 to 80 feet. Visibility can be temporarily affected by plankton blooms, but these lower visibility periods usually don't last too long. Certified divers usually access the better dive spots via boat dives, although there are some great beach dive locations (such as Cheleno Beach) where it's just a short walk from the car. Snorkelers usually enjoy diving the bluffs that start at the entrance to the marina, and run all the way out to Lover's Beach and the arch at Land's End. A brief description of Cabo's main diving locations can be found on the home page of CABO DIVING SERVICES.
