Hi Dee,

Any update on conditions for Cabo Pulmo? Will be in Cabo the week of September 4th and plan to dive CP at least 1 day. Are there any particularly interesting visitors to the Southern part of Baja on the Sea of Cortez side during this time period (Blue Whales, Humbacks, others)?

Hey Diver Dude,This is the season for Cabo Pulmo water temps there are 85 Degrees and vis. is 70 to 100 feet.It is possable to see Whale Sharks, Eagle Rays,Sea Lions,and of course the normal thousands of tropical fish.You will be here early for Whale season.
Diving here in Cabo has been awsome. We also have great Vis. and warm water this is the best time to Dive the Sea of Cortez.
