Air : Generally ranges between 25°C - 35°C year-round.
Sea : range from a low of 21°C in the winter months, to a high of 26°C in the late fall and spring months. But strong current fluctuations mean that there can be cooler water below.

I spent a week onboard of El Quino in the sea of Cortez. It was absolutely unforgettable, I would highly recommend it ! The Mexican & Colombian crew were amazing, the food was delicious and the dives great. I've been lucky enough to take part to a citizen science trip, therefore we had a fabulous &knowledgeable marine biologist on board. Big up to Carlos Sanchez !
