Dive San Carlos

Do you need information about Mexico?

On this page you will find some very informative links. I have tried to include sites that will be useful to you when you are planning your next vacation to San Carlos and other places in Mexico.

This link contains information about San Carlos, Sonora. It will give you almost all of the local events and bulletins and maintains an active forum.

This link should cover all the questions that you may have about Mexico.

When this link opens, go to North America, Mexico and then click on Baja, then on the second map click on the red dot close to Guaymas. I have found this site to be fairly accurate as far a wind speed forecast, but the wave height forecast, is quite often too low for the wind speed. So I just keep my eye on the wind speed, and that works well for me.

Are you wondering about Hurricane and Tropical Storms?

The National Hurricane Center has provided fairly accurate information for us during past storms,
