Days 2-7:
Navigating the shortest distance between 2 destinations perfectly describes this trip: La Paz, Loreto, and the Sea of Cortez. This is a great trip for those looking for a relaxed, laid-back trip and Mexican hospitality. The seas are usually flat and calm. 4 dives a day, including some night dives. Super playful sea lions and enormous schools of fish. Spotter airplane support to find big animals, which might include huge pods of dolphins, orcas, pilot whales, or even sperm whales. Beach walks, kayaking, sunset cocktail hour, guided desert walks, and the main course of diving and snorkelling. We are excited to report that, for the first time in 20 years, we have been seeing large numbers of hammerhead sharks throughout the Sea of Cortez. We will likely visit Las Animas, La Reyna, El Bajo, the beautiful Carmen Island, sunken ships at Danzanta, and Espiritu Santo.
