Why dive here
With 195+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, humpback whales, nurse sharks and orcas - Pichilingue offers some of Sea of Cortez's richest diving. Water ranges 21-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
Pichilingue offers a solid dive for those exploring the La Paz area. We usually find good visibility here, with chances to spot sea lions and schooling fish patrolling the rocky reef. It's a relaxed dive, well-suited for newer divers or anyone looking for a comfortable afternoon in the water.
