A little bit of a boat ride, but lots of skates, rays, angel fish, eels, and seals. Depth ranges from shallow to very deep. A little for everybody.

Awsome site, definitly one hell of a fist impression for my fist time in the ocean. Lots of playful seals and so much more ocean life. Water was like bath water and the vis. was great.

Friendly and playful sea lions, many small reef fish, starfish, hermit crabs, cucumbers, urchins, lobster, nudis, and the occasional turtle!

For the Sea of Cortez it’s just about the best place to dive! Sealions, turtles, octopus, seahorses, lots of fish!

Extensive sea life. Visibility is very good. Water is warm in the summer. Quite a few jellys.

Great dive area, no shore access though, Boats only. Lots of great wildlife. Early season dives suffer visability but gain more fish to see. Late season dives prvide great visability and still LOTS of colorful fish.

I’ve found good size Pacific Octopi on each trip there so far.

The Biolume on the night dives is something not to miss.

Only issues, Steep rock walls stucco coated white with years of Seagul and Pelican crap... Bring strong bug spray, not always the season you’ll need it, but the gnats and flies can make you nuts.
