The Corridor’s Sites

Along the 18 mile tourist corridor between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose Del Cabo there are 5 great dive sites. The topography of this sites are very different from the ones at the Cabo San Lucas Marine Park. The boat ride to the sites takes anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes from the Cabo San Lucas Marina. Schools of dolphins and jumping pigmy manta rays are often seen on the way to the dive sites.

Whales Head:
This shallow dive site starts in only 5 feet and ends in a sandy bottom at 50 feet. Thecoral growth is superb and unmatched in this region. This spot is also known to be home to sea turtles, octopus, moray eels and nurse sharks. Large schools of porf fish and snappers are sometimes seen on the sandy bottom next to the reef.

Tres Amigos:
20 minutes away by boat and 1/2 a mile off-shore there is a long but thin reef sloping down from 60 to 100 feet. The most interesting area is a large rock with its top at 70 feet where large schools of jack circle the divers . Other inhabitants are lobsters, angelfish, groupers and cortez rays. This dive is for experienced divers only because of the occasional currents and free descent to 100 feet.

Chileno Bay:
This is a beautiful, protected reef that starts at 100 yards off the shore of Chileno Beach and extends out into the bay for about a half of a mile. The reef is covered with sea fans and sometimes we get to see mantas, large sea bass, sea turtles and nurse sharks. Invertebrates like Starfish, Flower Urchins and Hydroids are also common. It is also a very appealing site to the beginning diver or snorkeler. Here you will experience very shallow and calm waters. Depth: 5 - 60 ft.

Santa Maria:
This site starts on the souther side of the protected Santa Maria bay in only 10 feet and gruadally drops down to 45 feet. The shallow reef is teeming with marine life like Surgeon and angelfish, porcupinefish, pufferfish, groupers and hogfish. Also Snappers, moorish idols, nudibranches, flatworms and several species of rays have made this site their home. In general there is no current but sometimes divers feel the surge from the waves.

The Blow Hole:
This reef got its name from a small blowhole in the cliffs nearby. Massive boulders and deep rock-cuts form the the reef of this spectacular and exciting dive. Manta rays, turtles, schools of jacks and groupers are common inhabitants here. There is also a small wall on the northern side which drops from 50 to 100+ feet. This dive is suitable for beginners and professionals and is a must for underwater photographers and videographers.
