Baja California / La Paz – Mexico

La Paz is the capital city of the  Mexican State of Baja California Sur, and home to approximately 850 marine species. From massive humpback whales to tiny seahorses, everyone will find something of interest in this section of the Sea of Cortez.

You might see hammerhead sharks, humpback whales, sperm whales, dolphins, mobulas, sea turtles and eagle rays at the El Bajo seamounts.

December to May, divers can expect cooler temperatures in the Sea of Cortez. These cooler temperatures are balmy for pelagic species. If you are a pelagic fan, this is the best time to dive near La Paz.  this is the reason we are going in January because we like to encounter the Whalesharks, humpbacks and dive with the sea lions. This is the best month for hammerhead sharks in La Paz Bay. This is the best time to spot Humpback Whales and Grey Whales in the area. There is also a big chance we might spot Bullseye Rays, Banded Guitarfish and Octopuses who hide in the reef and wrecks.
