Dive-site story
Middle Wall sits within the Cabo San Lucas Marine Park along the steep drop-off of the bay's deep submarine canyon. The site features vertical granite rock faces interspersed with crevices, ledges, and sandy chutes leading toward the canyon depths. Divers drift along the wall observing sea lions swooping in from nearby rookeries alongside schooling reef fish that congregate where currents brush the headland.
