The Sea of Cortez is very diverse and has as vast amount of nudibranchs, blennys, jawfish, a variety of rays and guitarfish, schools of fish, eels, octopus, sea horses, frogfish, Mexican horn sharks, and the list goes on and on. We also have a lot of whale activity on this trip. We consistently see pilot fin and sperm whales.

The trips run from Sunday to Sunday; and the boat departs from Puerto Peñasco, Mexico at 5:00 p.m. We travel for 12 hours and at 7:00 a.m., the next morning we are ready for our first dive.

On Saturday the last day of diving we spend with the whale sharks at Bahia de Los Angeles and by 3:00 p.m. we start motoring back to Puerto Peñasco.

Divers enjoy 3 - 4 dives per day and 2 night dives. All of our trips have three dive masters on board to lead dives and assist divers.

We divide into 3 groups, one dive master per group.
We also have two inflatable drivers vigilantly watching for bubbles and retrieving divers upon surfacing.
We provide 80 cubic ft., aluminum tanks that are both Din and Yoke compatible.
