Los Cabos in early March?

[Ed Marshall]

My wife is planning a Valentine's Day vacation so that I can do some diving in early March. My options (dictated by frequent flier miles) are Cozumel and Los Cabos. I've been to Cozumel and loved it, but I've never been to Los Cabos. Is the diving worth it at this time of year? All research seems to indicate lower visibility (20-50 feet) and water temps (65-75 degrees) at this time of year in the Sea of Cortez. Will this be enjoyable in a 5 mm suit (I hate 7 mm suits)?

Or should I opt for the warm and familiar 80 degrees and 100 foot plus visibility in Cozumel?

I would vote for Cozumel. Cabo has been a nice little summer beach getaway for me the past couple of years. Lower humidity than the Caribbean, better viz and warmer water than winter. But it is just no comparison to diving in Coz.

I would dive in Cabo if you happen to be going, but don't go to Cabo for the diving. Just my personal opinion.

That's pretty much the conclusion I came to, so I'm already booked to Cozumel.
