San Benedicto Canyon, Mexico

About San Benedicto Canyon

A wall dive. It goes down to 40 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NW: swell from the NW reaches it, and wind from the SE blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 24°C in February, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 29°C in August, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). No town nearby. No bookable town within 60 km: the nearest, Cabo San Lucas, is 408 km away. Within 5 km we also list 2 dive sites.
