Sea Of Cortez Diving Season
The best time to dive the Sea of Cortez depends on what you want to see, with seasonal encounters with different migratory animals. July to December offers the best visibility and warmer waters. Whale shark encounters are most common in La Paz in December-January and can be spotted near Bahai de Los Angeles in July-August. From December to March, the water is colder, visibility is lower, but it is an excellent time to sight humpback whales, gray whales, and mobula rays.
Note: Diving with sea lions on Los Islotes is closed for mating season June through August, so plan around that if this is on your bucket list!
For another great location to encounter whale sharks, check out diving in the Galapagos.
