Gordo Banks is an underwater mountain located 5 miles off the coast of San Jose del Cabo, at a distance of 2 hours in our boat (The Abyss) from the bay of Cabo San Lucas. In this peculiar dive site the minimum depth is 110 ft/ 33 m. The bottom is full of gardens of black corals, soft corals, fans, countless invertebrates and different tropical fish.
Because it is a pinnacle so far from the coast, it has the transit of different pelagic and migratory species such as manta rays, hammerhead sharks, dorados, marlins, whales in season, whale sharks, and more! The possibilities of having these encounters are only given by Gordo Banks.
