Where to go scuba diving with gray whales
About this list
When you look for scuba diving with gray whales, search results rarely show how the trip actually works. Maptlantis lists only operators that name the gray whale as a target species and actually run scuba diving programs, 3 in all. Countries and regions on record include La Paz, Baja California Sur. Not every scuba diving program is the same experience. Approach distance, whether you may enter the water and group size limits differ by country, and by operator within a country. All 3 operators on this list publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare them directly. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, Jan–May, Jul–Oct and Oct–Apr among them. There is no single season for scuba diving with gray whales, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. No operator running wildlife programs can guarantee an encounter. Treat any trip that promises one with suspicion.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I go scuba diving with gray whales?
3 operators on Maptlantis name the gray whale as a target species and run scuba diving. The list shows them by country and region.
Will I definitely see gray whales?
No. They are wild animals, and there are days you will not meet them because of the season, sea conditions and their movements. If an operator promises an encounter, treat that wording with suspicion.
When is the season for scuba diving with gray whales?
Seasons the operators give: Jan–May, Jul–Oct and Oct–Apr. Operating periods differ between operators even in the same area, so check before you book.
How is scuba diving different from boat-based watching?
Watching from a boat and getting in the water differ in both rules and price. Some countries ban getting in the water or allow it only with licensed operators, so check which kind of trip you are booking.
