Why dive here
With 195+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, humpback whales, nurse sharks and orcas - Las Casitas offers some of Sea of Cortez's richest diving. Water ranges 21-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
Las Casitas is a reliable Sea of Cortez dive, good for an easy drift. You’ll typically find schooling bonito, the occasional mobula ray gliding past, and plenty of garden eels poking from the sand. It’s a solid choice for newer divers looking for a relaxed dive with consistent pelagic sightings. We often use it as a good second dive after a deeper one.
