The Sea of Cortez is Vibrant with Life
The Sea of Cortez is loaded with life from huge pods of inquisitive dolphins, sharks, giant whale sharks, friendly sea lions, mobula rays, cow nose rays, sperm whales, swirling tornadoes of fish and sometimes even Manta Rays. Whales of all descriptions visit over the winter and into spring. Huge squadrons of mobula rays numbering upwards of 100,000 aggregate every spring, orcas have been frequent visitors over the last several years. Also, hammerhead sharks migrate into the sea in May and stay until early winter.
Easy Non-Stop Flights to Cabo San Lucas
We are closer than you think. Over 30 major airports around the world have direct non-stop flights to Cabo San Lucas (SJD). With seamless La Paz transfers included on all multi-day adventures. It’s never been so easy to get to the Sea of Cortez and Baja!
Sea of Cortez 5 Night Get-Away
6 days and 5 nights of being spoiled on a liveaboard in the generally flat calm waters of the Sea of Cortez. Could there be a better way to enjoy a quick get-away and 4 dives a day, including some night dives!! These expeditions are similar to our 7 nighters, except that we generally don’t go as far north unless visibility is not great. You can expect vast swirling schools of fish, playful California sea lions, moray eels, all manner of rays, large pods of dolphins, and fingers tightly crossed on schooling hammerheads and even some wreck diving. We will likely visit Isla San Franciscito, Las Animas, Espiritu Santo, La Reyna and Cerralvo, be on the lookout for orcas, great whales, mobula rays and other big animals. These adventures meet in Cabo San Lucas, depart and return from La Paz with complimentary transfers back to either SJD or SeeCreatures Cabo.
6 Days, 5 Nights
Sea of Cortez 7 Night Classic
The southern Sea of Cortez offers good diving, seas that are usually flat calm, and by late July or August, great visibility and nice warm water. Expect to be engulfed by huge swirling tornadoes of schooling fish, interactive California sea lions, moray eels, all manner of rays, large pods of dolphins, and hopefully pilot whales. We will do our best to get you onto schooling hammerheads and even some wreck diving. We will likely explore Cerralvo, La Reyna, Espiritu Santo, Las Animas, and further north, often venturing into the Loreto National Park. Be on the lookout for orcas, great whales including sperm whales, mobula rays, and other big animals. These adventures meet in Cabo San Lucas, depart and return from La Paz with complimentary transfers back to either SJD or SeeCreatures Cabo.

La Paz / Loreto Great Circle – Sea of Cortez
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. Keep an eye out for 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. Noting that visibility and water temps generally improve dramatically from July through fall. Recommended fly in to SJD, Los Cabos.

Dive Your Own Way
Operated For Safety
Safety is a very serious business. Mother Ocean can be capricious and unforgiving. We hold ourselves to the highest standards and you should expect and demand no less. In our view, every dive boat should be operated within a certified ISM safety management system, outfitted with sprinklers, emergency smoke hoods for everybody and the same safety, fire, life saving equipment and radios as the largest cruise ships. Captains, mates and engineers should have professional commercial mariner qualifications and all crew should have STCW professional mariner certification. Safety is not something to publish in a brochure. It’s part of our DNA. A cornerstone of our culture. Something that we have been living by for every day of the last 30 years.
