Los Islotes

Probably the most famous dive site in La Paz, Mexico, the Baja Seamounts are a series of seamounts ravaged by heavy current as they are exposed to the open ocean of the Sea of Cortez, therefore, this is considered an advanced to expert dive site and only accessible by boat.

The Fang Ming, also known as the ’Chinese Wreck,’ was a Chinese cargo ship ceased by the Mexican navy in 1995 as it tried to transport 88 illegal Chinese immigrants to California.

Diving in the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez, just outside of La Paz, Mexico is like swimming in an aquarium.

This area was designated by Jacques Cousteau as the ’aquarium of the world’ and for good reason: the marine life is so abundant and diverse it feels like you are swimming in an actual aquarium.

The Vencedor is a fun wreck dive in Cabo Pulmo. This ship was a tuna trawler that sunk in the early 1980s after hitting the reef. It’s now become a great artificial reef surrounded by sand, schooling fish, and lots of sharks!

Fairly shallow beginner reef in Cabo Pulmo, small dive site with varying bottom terrain. Good for scuba diving and free diving and has great visibility.

El Cantil is a beautiful, shallow, clear dive that can be enjoyed by divers of all levels. This site is between 20 and 50 feet and features a beautiful reef with lots of cracks and caverns throughout it for lots of marine life to hide in.

The beautiful underwater topography mirrors the cliffs above water and creates a dramatic backdrop for the amazing wildlife sightings in the Sea of Cortez.

Although not very deep, averaging around 50 feet, Los Morros is considered an advanced dive due to the cooler water, reduced visibility, and swift current that occur here. This site has patches of reef separated by sand, full of garden eels.
