Not enough can be said about Cabo Pulmo! The only living coral reef on
the western side of North America. It is the most unique marine
phenomena in the entire Sea of Cortez. Rich in marine life and an
experience not to be missed. A National Marine Sanctuary. A 2 hour
drive from Cabo San Lucas. Very remote. We took a dive boat there after teh long drive. Well worth it though.
The reef is the only hard
coral reef found in the Sea of Cortez formed by
multi-fingers and lies in 18 meters of water. It
is one of only three living reefs in North
America. A Mexican fishing vessel (the Colima),
sunk during a storm in 1939, lies in 15 meters
of water approximately 2.4 kilometers north of
Punta Cabo Pulmo, and offers the added bonus of
a wreck dive for scuba enthusiasts to an already
spectacular marine park. Underwater visibility
ranges from 18-30 meters (60-100 feet) and water
temperatures range from 18-27 degrees C (65-80
degrees F).

Getting to Cabo Pulmo, in Baja, California Sur, takes some doing, but diving here is as easy as a backward roll off the boat. Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park features one of the world’s healthiest coral reefs, and sites mere yards from shore mean you can sleep late and still make two morning dives. Hard corals and sea fans cover long basaltic dykes populated by endless schools of rays and jacks, parrotfish, groupers and angelfish, eels, octopuses, and the occasional sea turtle or shark. And you’ll be back in time to enjoy fish tacos and a cold beer at a beachside restaurant, crash in your casita, and do it again the next day. — Melissa Gaskill
