Hi Divers it was a great Day to be underwater in Cabo.Water Temp was 83 Degrees and the Vis. was 70 to 80 feet.Wind from the north at 4mph no surge and very little current.
Lands End was the first Dive and the Sea Lions were waiting for us.As soon as we arrived they were Barking and jumped in to greet us.First a big male cruised by real slow then the females came up one at a time and sat just 5 or 6 feet away on the bottom they would zoom away and then return as if to say come on lets go.They just dont seem to understand that we cant zoom around like them.
Lots of good size Parrotfish king Angel,and a few big Grouper of course all the rest of the gang were there.Thousands of Tropical fish everywhere.
2nd Tank at Neptunes Finger we saw a green Sea Turtle that had a scar on its shell but was healed and doing fine.
A really big Green Moray Eel was at the top of the 60 foot reef maby 6 or 7 feet long.
lots of small groupers, and a striped Sea Snake also near the top.

Dive Report from Cabo San lucas from Baja Dive. Aug.15th
Hi Divers Nice and warm today air temp was 94 degrees Water Temp.83 degrees.We have a slight surge and almost no current.Wind from the so. at 6 mph.
1st. Dive was at Neptunes Finger as soon as we entered the water We saw lots of Morish Idols, Anglefish, goatfish, Trumpetfish, Threehanded Butterflyfish in just 20 feet of water. As we continued Down the wall and across the sand there were lots of Grass Eels and Parrotfish.
2nd tank was at Peligan Rock this site is a great spot for seeing just about any tropical fish found in the Sea of Cortez. The ledge sticks out and provides a place for the fish to get out of the current so there are always schools of fish here.Bring your Camara this site has some of the best photo ops around.
Vis on both Dives 60 to 70 feet.
Good Diving to all.
