The Los Frailes area offers prime snorkeling and diving, possibly the best in the Sea of Cortez, and the entire Pacific Coast of Mexico. With the help of the National Park, marine life is abundant, from the smallest nudibranchs to whale sharks and manta rays.
The best snorkeling can be found on both sides of the ridge (Cabo Frailes) which separates Los Frailes from Cabo Pulmo, as well as along the reef which runs along the south end of Los Frailes toward the Turtle Sanctuary. Conditions vary depending on the time of year and wind direction (click image to enlarge).
Diving Sites are primarily on the North side of Cabo Frailes and are normally less than a 20 minutes boat ride. Most dive shops are located and leave from Cabo Pulmo. We have been diving with Pilu from Cabo Pulmo Diving for about 7 years. She is a wonderful, skilled Dive Master. Cabo Pulmo Diving is a 2 minute walk from the beach (click image to enlarge).
