Neptunes Finger

Neptune’s Finger is an offshore pinnacle and wall dive inside the Cabo San Lucas Marine Park, named for a vertical, finger-shaped rock that rises about 8 m above the surface and continues underwater as coral-covered pinnacles and a steep drop-off. The site features shallow coral gardens with abundant hard and soft corals, sponges, and gorgonians, a distinctive sandfall cascading down the slope, and deeper walls that host large schools of reef fish. Dives are conducted from a boat using moorings rather than anchors. The reef top is shallow, around 4–6 m, recreational profiles typically reach 18–30 m, and the wall descends well past 40 m to over 150 m. Water temperatures are usually about 24–26 °C at the surface and visibility is often excellent, roughly 10–30 m; currents are usually mild inside the bay though drift along the wall is common. There are no overhead caves or wrecks, buoyancy care around the coral is important, and deep dives require advanced planning for decompression or technical procedures; park rules prohibit fishing, spearfishing, collecting, and anchoring.
