What to see? The majority of the sea life found around Loreto is present throughout the year, however, some species are mostly found during certain months. From our experience, we have seen many of the species during their off season. For example, during the summer of 97, we dove 82 consecutive days with giant mantas, and then, in December, we run into a school of 25 Mantas, and then, the following day we dove with a 40 foot whale shark In August, during the middle of Summer, we run into 2 Blue Whales that came within 15 feet from our boat. Based on our experience, every day we stand a good chance to have a surprise. Throughout the year we have a permanent presence of more than 200 species of tropical fish. |

Temperature and Visibility The temperature and visibility changes from 92 degrees and 150 Feet during the summer, to 70 degrees and 50 feet in the winter. Despite these changes, the average visibility is not always the same at all dive sites. We dive different sites facing North, West, South, and East. We monitor the wind constantly, always looking for the day best dive site. No matter where the wind is coming from, we are guaranteed to dive. During the warmer months, we can dive without a wet-suit (bathing suit or shorts and t-shirt). During the winter months, we recommend diving with a wet-suit. However, we have seen many brave Northwest and Canadian divers diving in the heart of winter with nothing but a bathing suit. |

Travel time to the dive sites On our day trips, we travel to all the islands within the Marine Park. The travel time time can vary from 10 minutes to 1 hour. The determining factor where to go is the prevailing winds. |
