Why dive here
With 195+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, humpback whales, nurse sharks and orcas - Neptunes Finger offers some of Sea of Cortez's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 21-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
Neptune's Finger is a prominent pinnacle rising from the depths in the Sea of Cortez. We've often found schooling pelagics here, like jack and bonito, circling the rock face. The site can have strong currents, which usually means more action, but it's best suited for experienced divers comfortable in moving water. It’s a good spot if you’re looking for a dramatic underwater landscape rather than intricate reef details.
