Hello SB! My partner and I are thinking about planning a trip to try and see some big fish in early December, right after Thanksgiving. If we go with just us or a smaller group, I'd like to stick to avoiding Cabo San Lucas altogether and exploring Cabo Pulmo and La Paz instead. Was envisioning something like:
Monday 12/2: Arrive and drive to Cabo Pulmo
Tuesday, Wednesday: 4 or 5 tanks in CP, hopefully to see the bull sharks (and I still haven't gotten to hang out with a really solid school of jacks / any big bait balls)
Thursday: Drive to La Paz and catch up on work (we both work remotely)
Friday: Whale shark & sea lion snorkeling in La Paz
Saturday: 1 more day of diving / snorkeling or fly home
My main question is - if we added one more day to the itinerary, has anyone heard of dive ops in Cabo Pulmo doing day trips to Gordo Banks? I'm not 1000% sure we'd like to go, just because we might want to be more relaxed and not push ourselves too much -- we're both AOW with 60-70 dives and have dived Cozumel & the grouper aggregation in Jupiter FL -- but sometimes we just want to stay more in our comfort zone! Would love to know if 1) staying in CP and doing Gordo Banks is even possible, and 2) if in 2024 people still think it's worth it for the extra $$$...
Thanks so much in advance! Really excited to plan this one, I especially love to explore smaller towns and everything I've heard about CP sounds charming. The influx of campers doesn't bother me too much![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
