Well, the water is typically warm & around 70-80* so it's a 3mm or rash guard and swim shorts for me depending on how warm it really is. There's lots to see and do in the Sea of Cortez, to what city/area are you going? If you can let us know, we can give you more precise details.

Sea of Cortez; "the aquarium of the world"...
Hi Carlap,
Diving the Sea of Cortez can be like diving in an underwater paradise, or, as J.E. Cousteau called it "the aquarium of the world". Conditions vary a lot between winter and summer (from 65F to 85F and 30 feet to 100+, wind and waves in winter, hot and flat calm in summer, unless a hurricane passes by).
We arrived in Cabo Pulmo in February 2007 to work here for 7 months as a PADI-instructor couple and are now co-owners of the youngest dive center in town. In our web-site you'll find information on diving the Cabo Pulmo Marine Park (exactly today celebrating its 16th birthday)!
Here in Baja Mexico, big fish (whale sharks, giant mantas and the smaller mobulas, whales, sharks, gulf, goliath and leopard grouper, dog snapper etc.) and big schools of fish (hundreds of balloon fish and grouper, thousands of amber jacks, millions of big eyed jacks and skip jacks in trillions, uncountable yellow tail snapper etc.) are returning. Since the strict protection (no fishing or boat traffic, diving in small groups with guides, boats following the divers etc.), the thread for sea-life is gone, food is abundantly available and natures balance seems to be restored.
However under threat of a mega development that will lead to an under water disaster, we, the local population and the park authorities, are determined to keep this part of the Californian Gulf the aquarium of the world.
Diving in August is spectacular, just after under water winter, with all winter life still here in warm and clear waters... The desert is spectacular too, mainly spectacular hot, so you will be in the water all day to cool down and to enjoy the scenery...
Welcome to Cabo Pulmo, an unique experience on the other side of Mexico...
