Why dive here
With 195+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, humpback whales, nurse sharks and orcas - Tlacote offers some of Sea of Cortez's richest diving. Water ranges 21-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
Tlacote, in the Sea of Cortez, offers a classic Baja dive. We often find schools of jacks circling, and the occasional mobula ray gliding past. The site is generally calm, making it a good option for divers looking for a relaxed exploration rather than anything too challenging. Keep an eye on the thermocline; it can shift quickly here.
