Cabo or Corridor?

[beth_castroll]

Hello-

I am planning a very quick get away to Cabo san Lucas. We dove there once with pretty bad visibility but its a short 3 hour hop, we have a few points and need to get wet.
We are Padi AOW.
We were wondering where the diving was better. Down by the Arch and Land's End or up on the Corridor?

Who is the prefered dive op?
We'd prefer small boats, walking distance to a hotel, bar and restaurants. No all-inclusives.

Thanks!

Definitely on the Corridor, it's a madhouse of divers, snorklers, swimmers, etc., at the Arch and Lands End. Boats everywhere!

We like Manta Scuba. Have dived with them twice so far, and will be going back in July.

Thanks for the reply Laurie.
Do you stay in Downtown Cabo or in Cabo Del San Jose?

We've never stayed in Cabo, we're always on a cruise, usually spending two days there.

My husband and I are considering Cabo the end of July early August-thoughts on water temps and visibility during this time?

Yeah I saw your post! Pics are amazing- you went in the fall though right?

 

[Dan]

Thanks! Yes, the best time is in the fall (October- December). Water is warm ~82-84F, visibility ~40-100'

Sadly not the time frame I can get there. And it looks like the place you recommended is booked

I dove in GBR, Galapagos, Indonesia, Caribbean and never saw so much fish until I went to Cabo Pulmo. I've been there 3 times since 2011.

Have you seen underwater jackfish tornado?
