November is high travel time for the area. October and December can be busy as well.
Since you're road-tripping then flights aren't a concern but lodging might be (unless you're camping out). And also booking dives. Make sure to attack both of those at the same time because it can get tricky to plan. My November trips are usually booked a year in advance.

Plans changed slightly, our trip is starting in La Paz, hotel and scuba trip/ OW class for my GF are planned (thanks for the tips!).
Then off to Cabo Pulmo, stay is booked. Dive trip is almost booked (Pilu is not in Mexico, so directed me to the dive shop she works from). Just waiting the confirmation.
Then we are going to stay at one more place in Baja Sur, then fly up north. No road tripping by car.
Looking to do a dive in Ensenada, but we'll plan that later. The trip will be ended by a spending a week in Mexico City.
Thank you for all amazing tips. Will keep posting head ups, once the rest of the trip is planned.

Don't forget to do the whale shark snorkel in La PAZ!!!!
What are your CP dates? End of October?
When in Ensenada, you could look into diving the Coronado Islands. I don't have a LDS to recommend though as I was on a liveaboard (Nautilus) when I was there. We actually left out of Ensenada.

Diving in La Paz (with Sea Lions Dive Center) was amazing, really cool, did 4 different locations and had a great time.
Sadly the booked trip to Cabo Pulmo did not happen.
From La Paz the main road was flooded (10-15 min away from reaching our destination) and the other way around, the sand roads are not passabele if you don't rent a big 4x4. An adventure...but we had to turn around (after getting stuck in the deep and soft sand) and find another place to stay.
