Baja and the Sea of Cortez
Article Abstract:
The Sea of Cortez in Mexico is a sheltered slice of Eastern Pacific that is home to a wide array of diving spots. In the southern part of the sea lies the island of Los Cabos where plenty of small dive shops are found. Each shop provides divers a relaxed program of two-tank morning dives from roomy boats. La Paz, meanwhile, is a bustling port city that is located in the southernmost nook of La Paz Bay. Aside from its diversed diving sites, La Paz's other major tourist attractions include the El Bajo seamount and the Los Islotes sea lion colony.
