Coronado’s Are a Must-Do!
Just off the coast of Baja California lies the rugged and remote archipelago known as the Coronado Islands — a unique dive destination that offers more than your typical day-trip. Although you're only a short boat ride from San Diego, you’ll be immersed in Mexican waters, surrounded by clearer seas, abundant marine life, and a wild-water vibe that feels far from your shore-dives.
You will see:
Playful sea lions: The pups are curious and interactive — expect them to buzz past you, blow bubbles, or pop into your frame unexpectedly.
Diverse reef life: From Garibaldi and moray eels to scorpionfish, two-spot octopus, and other macro critters, the ecosystem is rich.
Signature dive terrain: Sites like “Lobster Shack”, “Keyhole”, and “Middle Grounds” present a mix of shallow vistas, drop-offs, arches, and ledges — plenty of variety for different experience levels.
Surface pass featuring big water: On our return trip, we’ll skim over deep channels and the trench near the islands — a chance to watch dolphins or whales from the deck as the sun begins to dip.
Typical Conditions & Gear Tips
Visibility: On a good day, expect 30-70 ft (9-21 m); average hovers around 50 ft.
Water temps: Surface temps often in the 60-70 °F (15-21 °C) range. Deeper or thermocline zones may drop into the low 50s °F (10-12 °C).
Recommended gear: Since you’ll dive several sites in one day, and conditions can vary, plan for a 7 mm wetsuit (or equivalent), hood, booties, and gloves. Surge can occur, especially in arches or channels.
Bonus tip: Because it’s a full-day charter, a dry-bag with a change of clothes and a light towel will keep you comfortable for the ride back.
Our Full-Day Format (Curated for Your Boat Charter)
Early morning departure from Mission Bay / San Diego.
Transit to the Coronado’s; we’ll conduct 3 guaranteed dives, with a potential 4th if time and conditions permit.
On-board refreshments and snack breaks between dives (you know we’ll have food sorted).
Post-dive return leg where we cruise above the trench/deep channel, scanning for whale and dolphin sightings — the perfect surface finale to your underwater adventure.
Arrive back late afternoon, greeted by smiles, stories, and plenty of photo-op fodder.
Don’t just dive — go big. Join us for an unforgettable day at the Coronado’s: swim with sea lions, explore underwater terrain you won’t get from a shore dive, and wind down on deck with wildlife on the horizon. Bring your passport or passport card, pack your gear (or rent from us), and reserve your spot on this full-day ocean immersion. Limited seats*— grab one before they fill up.
