Recent visit to Cabo San Lucas/Revillagigedos?

[scubadada]

I'll be doing some local diving from Cabo and then spending a week at the Revillagigedos starting next week. Anyone with a recent visit who can tell me the water temps at either or both locations? I'm counting on low to mid 70s

Thanks

It would be about 77F (25C) on May 18, 2019 (same as the year before) according to https://seatemperature.info/may/socorro-island-water-temperature.html

I was there 5 months ago with Nautilus Undersea Socorro 22-30 December, 2018 Trip Report and read their yearly water temperature table, as shown below and post it in their webpage Giant Mantas at Socorro Island- Nautilus Liveaboards

Their table is pretty accurate. It's also stating 77F in May.

Hopefully someone just came back from there would chime in.

I'm planning to go back there again in May 2020 for the baitball in addition to the usual suspects (Giant mantas, bottlenose dolphins and sharks). Please post what you see next week!

I heard from Nautilus by email on May 10, water was said to be 72-75 at that time.

Hopefully @togatown and/or @CZS can chime in. They mentioned that they plan to be there in early May.

Yes, that is exactly what the water temp was, a 5mm with a hood was fine and I get cold easily.

Thanks very much @togatown

Hey! I went diving today. May and June is the coldest time of year here but right now in the shallows there is a really nice warm surface temp of 75f/25c to about 40ft/12m. Once you get passed this it drops sharply to about 20c to 90-100ft and then even colder below. This is from the CSL bay area to Gordo Banks etc, out in Socorro it doesn't drop that low - like the other people here are saying, around 77f ish. Let me know if you need a private dive guide around the Cabo area....

Thanks for the info, I'm good

Just returned from the Revillagigedos this week. We saw temps at the surface of 74-75, and 72-73 at depth. We even had one dive at The Canyon where we caught a 68 degree upwelling at 70 ft! Visibility was down due to the windy conditions, but we saw a ton of dolphins, mantas and hammerheads. You're in for a GREAT time!

Thanks @CZS I leave tomorrow for Cabo, to spend a couple of days before boarding the Nautilus Explorer
