Cabo Pulmo Watersports Scuba Diving Trips

Cabo Pulmo Scuba Diving - Cabo Pulmo Watersports

Discover the marvelous marine life of the Sea of Cortez, famously dubbed "the world's aquarium", on this unforgettable two tank scuba diving tour for certified scuba divers. Scuba diving is exceptional throughout the year in Cabo Pulmo, with unparalleled marine diversity in the National Marine Park, a pristine jewel of the Baja Peninsula. Here, you'll immerse yourself in an underwater realm where the past meets the present, exploring one of North America's rare coral reefs, recognized as the Sea of Cortez's sole surviving coral haven.

You will visit one or more dive sites inside the National Marine Park, depending on the weather conditions of the day. Maximum duration per dive is 50 minutes. Tours generally depart at 8:30am and 12:30pm, but may change slightly based on the season.

Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park

Cabo Pulmo is famous for some of the best scuba diving in the entire Baja Peninsula. This jewel of Baja has one of just three coral reefs in North America, and the reef is 5,000 years old. It is believed to be the only living coral reef in the Sea of the Cortez. Cabo Pulmo is just 60 miles north of Los Cabos.

The area was designed a National Marine Park by the Mexican government in 1995, which has helped protect the area and it's remarkable marine life. Prior to this, the area was a fishing village, and advances in fishing technology were emptying the formerly rich Cabo Pulmo reef of all of its fish. It was at this point that local fishermen decided to stop fishing, protect the reef, and change from a commercial fishing economy to a tourism-based economy, and in 1995, Cabo Pulmo was declared a National Marine Park. This was an extremely difficult and complex process, as Cabo Pulmo is located in a tiny desert enclave without major resources, little water, isolated from the rest of the state, and fishing was the village’s only important source of economic production. After making the commitment to protect the reef, all bets were on tourism, a fairly unknown activity for the East Cape at the time.

When you take a scuba diving tour with Cabo Pulmo Watersports you are participating in a regenerative adventure, which helps conserve the wonderful marine ecosystem and support the local community.
