    I'm taking a group down in December on the Nautilus Gallant Lady and haven't heard anything about a photo permit. I also just looked at a comprehensive lost of the the park rules and regulations (presumably currently since it's on their official website) and don't see anything about a permit. Can you elaborate &/or provide a link to this application? Thanks.

  7. As stated before, be careful. They are limiting Cabo Pulmo dives...the "owner" is doing it. We were there on a liveaboard in October and were "lucky" to get to dive it. Check ahead folks.

  8. some rules in English:   http://pupcabopulmo.mx/?en  8 ft minimum distance to coral and no flash with sharks Here's the bit about permits via Google translate:

    Photography Cabo Pulmo National Park offers wonderful views of both water and land. In case of wanting to take underwater photography WITHOUT PURPOSE, it is important that the Park Directorate be requested a letter of No objection through a letter addressed to the Director where the date on which the activity will be carried out is mentioned, the person in charge of the activity, the technical characteristics of the equipment (camera, flash, accessories), the objective of the activity and the name of the company with which you have contracted your tour. Said letter and copy of the identification of the person responsible should be sent via email to: lourdes.getino@conanp.gob.mx

    To schedule your visit and the activities you wish to perform, contact the suppliers tormented at:
