SOCORRO ISLANDS
Located some 200 miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas, not enough can be said about these  volcanic islands. Uninhabited, except for a navel base, they have been called by many the "Mexican  Galapagos". Home to whitetip, blacktip, galapagos, tiger and schooling hammerhead  sharks this is an area for experienced divers only. Giant Mantas with 15' - 20' wingspans  are everywhere! Besides 400 lb. tuna and schools of endless gamefish there are many exotic  species of reef fish endemic to these islands and nowhere else.

SEA OF CORTEZ
With over 850 species of reef fish, the Sea of Cortez is one of the most prolific bodies  of water on earth. Known for encounters with large pelagics such as whalesharks and giant  mantas, it is also one of the areas where hammerheads school. In addition to the largest  living coral reef in the Sea, dive with enormous schools of reef fish found nowhere else  in the world, four-foot stingrays, sea lions, sea turtles, 100 lb. grouper and many other  unique experiences.

ANEGADA
On the edge of the Submarine Canyon that forms San Lucas Bay. Beautiful wall dive to small  sandfall at around 90'. Large congregations of big and small tropicals. Slopes covered  with gorgonians and gracefull sea fans. Not unusual to spot rays and big fish swimming out  of nearby deeper water. Also an excellent night dive, The Bay of San Lucas is a National  Marine Sanctuary so we take only pictures and leave only bubbles.

THE POINT
At Land's End where the Pacific Ocean joins the Sea of Cortez. Sea lions, turtles, huge  sea bass sometimes. Marauding schools of gamefish brought in by large schools of baitfish  such as sardines and greenjacks. Pelagics such as whale sharks and mantas also spotted in  this area. Also morays, octopus, tropicals, etc., Average depth of 60'.

LA LARGA
60' to 120' Canyons. Rock outcrops giving way to steep vertical granite walls and rocky  ledges at 100'. Thick with gorgonians and sea fans. Octopus, abundant tropicals, schooIs  of barracuda and other pelagics. Largest of the two famous sandfalls begins here at 100'.

THE BLOWHOLE
40' to lOO'.The backside of a huge rock forms a wall covered in gorgonians. Small nurse  sharks and guitarfish sometimes inhabit the area, along with a few large grouper and the  occasional bat ray or eagle ray. The site gets its name from a small blowhole on shore.

CABO PULMO
Not enough can be said about Cabo Pulmo! The only living coral reef on the western side of  North America. It is the most unique marine phenomena in the entire Sea of Cortez. Rich in  marine life and an experience not to be missed. A National Marine Sanctuary. A 2 hour  drive from Cabo San Lucas. Very remote.

GORDA BANKS
Rivals Cabo Pulmo and San Lucas Bay Submarine Canyon among the prime dive sites in the  area. Eight miles off the coast of San Jose Del Cabo, the top of this seamount lies under  110' - 130' of water. This is an advanced dive, only for the most experienced divers, due  to the depth and currents that sometimes occur. Plenty of action in the first few feet of  the water column, whirlpools of jacks, scores of schooling hammerheads, solitary bull  sharks, malnta rays and even the huge whale sharks encountered by fortunate divers.
