Mexico’s Baja peninsula is blessed with some of the best scuba diving in the world and yet it remains a relative unknown on the lists of major dive destinations. With the Pacific Ocean to its west and the Sea of Cortez (aka the Gulf of California) to its east, the peninsula offers more than 2,000 miles of coastline and dozens of off-shore islands to explore. And the variety of marine life that inhabits these waters is as diverse as the terrain itself. You’ll find everything from the Great White sharks of Isla Guadalupe to the graceful Manta rays of the Socorro Islands to the huge and gentle Whale sharks of the Sea of Cortez. In the articles that follow, I’ll try to demonstrate why I think everyone who enjoys diving should visit Mexico’s Baja peninsula at least once.
