Why dive here
With 195+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, humpback whales, nurse sharks and orcas - El Vencedor offers some of Sea of Cortez's richest diving. Water ranges 21-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
El Vencedor offers a relaxed dive in the Sea of Cortez, typically a drift along a sloping reef. You'll often spot schools of jacks and snapper, with moray eels peeking from crevices. It's a good option for divers looking for an easy, pleasant dive without strong currents. We’d suggest it for an afternoon boat dive.
