The Best Seasons for Shark Diving in Cabo
Sharks and rays can be seen almost everywhere in the Cabo San Lucas marine park and corridor. But if you want to see specific species, you need to know where and when to go.
Bigger sharks usually frequent the open ocean. They are often spotted in Gordo Banks where there’s a strong current and an abundance of smaller fish to feed on.
To see Whale sharks, consider staying in La Paz, just northeast of Cabo San Lucas. Experience a memorable encounter with these gentle beasts between November and April.
Makos and Blue sharks are more common through spring months, and Silkies usually enjoy the warmer summer water. Hammerheads are common from April to June.
If you’re interested in Bull sharks, they’ve been seen in recent years at the Cabo Pulmo Marine Reserve from December to August.
Getting Face-to-Face With Sharks
Trained divers and expert biologists lead diving tours to allow visitors to view them safely in their natural habitat. They will take you to the spots where sharks are regularly sighted.
Prepared to be dazzled by the visibility as you swim and possibly interact with sharks in the crystal clear blue waters.
