Dive-site story
Neptune's Finger marks a dramatic granite pinnacle that juts out of the water near Land's End in Cabo San Lucas. Below the surface, the rock face plunges steeply into the deep submarine canyon. Divers follow the sheer wall decorated with sea fans and crevices that shelter octopuses and morays, while pelagic species often cruise in from the open ocean.
