SCUBA DIVING IN CABO PULMO - “THE AQUARIUM OF THE WORLD”
Cabo Pulmo is a tiny village just over an hour drive from San Jose del Cabo. This is a beautiful and remote corner of the world, where mountains meet the beautiful bay, and has been protected from all commercial fishing since 1995. We will dive 3 times a day in sites full of nutrient-rich water that attracts hundreds of some of the worlds most stunning marine creatures. We will experience diving with sea lions, bull sharks and the most hallucinating school of fish of the world.
After more than a decade of great efforts by the community to protect the bay, we can enjoy a thriving population of Bull sharks every winter. Cabo Pulmo is a remarkable success story of marine conservation and the Bull sharks are there to prove it. We will get to see and learn about these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat. Thanks to the participation of the community, Cabo Pulmo has become a great example for creating a truly sustainable touristic development. With no high-end hotels, the accommodations are simple eco- cabanas owned and operated by the locals. We will have fresh bread, hot coffee and a delicious homemade brunch waiting for us after the morning dives. The fabulous diving is not the only spectacle in Cabo Pulmo. You will be energized when hiking the desert-like landscape surrounded by mountains while experiencing magical and amazing sunsets from atop the high hills. We will have an expert guide leading the way on these easy going evening expeditions.
The best season to dive in Cabo Pulmo is from October to December, because the visibility and temperature of the water are ideal for scuba diving.
