2 Tanks – Local Diving in The Corridor of Los Cabos
About the diving trip
The Corridor refers to the 30km (18 mi) stretch of coastline nestled between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo – two of the ‘Cabos’ that make up Los Cabos.
It has a unique colorful coral garden seascape, with massive boulders and rocks adorned with an array of hard and soft corals, and a similar marine wildlife to that of the Marine Park.
When exploring the underwater wonders of this area, remember to peer into the blue from time to time: you may catch sight of eagle ray schools gliding by!
During winter dives, you might also be captivated by the enchanting melodies of humpback whales echoing through the depths.
Come and let our seasoned instructors guide you on one of our daily semi-private dive tours!
When to dive in the Corridor ?
Weather and Water Temperatures
Cabo boasts a sunny, arid climate with an annual rainfall of approximately 25 cm (10 in), primarily occurring from late August to October. For the remainder of the year, rainfall is scarce, with few clouds dotting the sky.
Above water, it remains warm throughout the year, with a peak in August and September.
Underwater temperatures fluctuate seasonally, ranging from 15°C (59°F) in spring to 25°C (77°F) in autumn. Visibility varies as well, from 12 to 30 meters (40 to 100 feet). Because of its geographical location, the Corridor is more exposed, making it susceptible to winds and waves.
Dive sites in Cabo San Lucas
The Corridor offers more than 4 dive sites to choose from
Predominantly shallow, each site in the Corridor has unique characteristics, yet typically featuring rocky formations and sandy seabeds with gentle slopes from 6 to 18 meters (20 to 60 feet), providing relaxing dives away from crowds for divers of all levels.
Santa Maria Bay, a serene cove filled with tropical fish and sea fans, is perfect for diving, snorkeling, and photography. In Whale’s Head you will find unmatched coral growth and abundant marine life. Chileno Bay presents a finger reef extending for half a mile, while Blow Hole offers thrilling dives between 18 to 30 meters (60 to 100 feet) amidst boulders, tunnels and rock-cuts.

Marine Life of the Corridor
What will I see when diving in Cabo San Lucas?
Los Cabos has an incredible biological diversity!
It shelters different coral species, octopuses, sea turtles, moray eels, lobsters hidden amongst the rocks and a colorful collection of invertebrates, starfish, sea urchins and sponges.
Manta rays, spotted eagle rays, schools of jacks, groupers and tropical fish are also common inhabitants here. On some of the sites there is a good chance of seeing some white tip reef sharks. These animals used to be overfished and are now coming back, which is a good sign of the area’s health.
Consult our Marine Life calendar for more insights into seasonal sightings.
Dive boat and scuba diving Gear
Our Scuba diving boat
Our main panga, a typical Mexican open boat, has enough space to welcome up to 10 divers aboard. The bimini top provides plenty of shade and there is a bathroom on board. It is 9-meters long and its double engine propels it to up to 20 knots.
Diving wetsuit
From August to mid-January, most divers are comfortable with a 5 mm wetsuit and boots.
In spring, as the water temperature can drop to 15°C (59°F) at times, we recommend a 7 mm, with boots and a hoodie if needed. A windbreaker might be useful as well.
