best time for Cabo San Lucas

[cougar]

I was in Cabo for a few days one December and froze my butt off in 6 mil. Water temp was slightly under 70. What time of year is the water the warmest and clearest balancing the best time for critters?? September, October?? What has been your experience? Thanks in advance.

I would say that Sept, Oct, and early Nov are the best for warm water in Cabo. 80s plus for water temp, but the visibility is variable then. I've dove in Feb and April and froze my rear off, but still had a good time seeing big stuff and lots of fish.

I dove Cabo in mid April and the visibility was good. I was not too cold and would dive during that time of year again.

Cabo can be very warm or it can be very cold (56 degrees) but you still see lots of marine life.
If you want clear warm water, come down around July to November.
the water can be around 88 degrees with 100 ft. plus vis.
call me or send me an e-mail. leddiver@hotmail.com

DiverBizz,

I am new to diving.....got Scuba certified in Curacao last April. This April I will be in Cabo an plan to finish out open water at ScubaCaribe at the Riu Santa Fe. Can I depend on the dive shops having warm enough wetsuits? My two 17 year old sons will be plenty warm.....but this 47 year old newbie is not so sure! I expect the water to be in the mid 60's

I dove Cabo today in a 3mil shortie. Then again I am Canadian. Vis was about 60 ft. Dove with Lands End. Cant say enough good things about them.

I'm also going in April. What mil wet suit did you wear? Do you remember the water temp? And were you diving the Atlantic or the Sea of Cortez?

Thanks,
