Mexico is a vast country with diving off the east and west coasts, with a range of seasonal variations too.
Discover our tailored tours showcasing breathtaking landscapes, pristine beaches, and exciting adventures.
Why Visit Mexico?
Guadalupe Island (Mexico) was the top destination for great white shark encounters. This small volcanic island located in the Pacific 240 kilometres (150 miles) off the west coast of Mexico's Baja California peninsula outperforms both South Africa and Australia with shark-seeing consistency and watching conditions. Only Guadalupe Island can boast shark viewing in 40-metre visibility and the bay where submersible cage diving operations take place has a population of 94 great white sharks, guaranteeing unforgettable encounters. Unfortunately, the Mexican government has stopped issuing permits for this.
The East is home to the amazing Cenotes, Playa del Carmen, and Cozumel, all in the Yucatan.
West coast Mexico diving is either in the Sea of Cortez from La Paz, Cabo Pulmo, or Cabo San Lucas, or out in the Pacific.
More commonly known as mobula rays, this iconic species gathers in the tens of thousands (not a misprint!) twice a year, with peak season from May to July, in the waters from Cabo San Lucas around to north of La Paz.
San Ignacio lagoon is home a one of the largest Grey whale calving sites on the planet.
Best Times to Visit Mexico
Mexico is a land of contrasts — from turquoise coastlines and jungle-clad ruins to desert landscapes and vibrant cities. With its rich cultural heritage, world-class cuisine, and endless sunshine, it’s a destination that shines in every season.
The dry season brings warm, sunny days and clear skies across most of the country. It’s perfect for beach escapes along the Riviera Maya, exploring Mayan temples in the Yucatán, or wandering through colonial towns like San Miguel de Allende.
Rains bring lush vegetation, fewer crowds, and lower prices. The Caribbean and Pacific coasts remain warm and inviting, while inland destinations enjoy cooler mountain breezes. This is also the best time for divers and snorkellers, with clear waters and abundant marine life.
Mexico comes alive with festivals like Día de los Muertos, offering a glimpse into the country’s deep cultural roots. It’s an atmospheric time to travel, filled with music, colour, and tradition.
