If the Baja peninsula is "nearly an island" then the Sea of Cortez is nearly a lagoon. It is a very long narrow stretch of water with a relatively small opening at the tip of the peninsula. These rich waters are considered among the most bio-diverse in the world and offer liveaboard diving with both large and small marine animals.
Many endemic creatures thrive in the Gulf of California including the endangered porpoise sub-species, the vaquita. Migratory creatures are also common and include whales of the humpback, California gray and killer varieties. It is estimated that 30% of the world's cetacean species are found in this stretch of water that has been called 'The Aquarium of the World'. The list of large creatures that you can see on liveaboards in the Sea of Cortez include schooling hammerhead sharks at various sites including El Lavadero, bull sharks at Cabo Pulmo, and wonderful sea lion encounters throughout the sea at places like El Arroyo.
This region of Mexico promises sightings of whale sharks. You can also see leatherback sea turtles, many types of angelfish, plus seahorses and all manner of smaller reef fish. Unlike Guadalupe and Socorro, there is beautiful reef scenery here and a wide array of smaller marine species, as evidenced by the nudibranch lovers' favorite dive site, La Vela.
