| Looking for something far from ordinary, yet not far away? Sea of Cortez diving is great! The terrain consists of rocky bottoms, jutting walls, undercuts, overhangs, sprawling rocky reef systems and several wreck sites. Visibility ranges from 50ft to 100ft+. Early October water temperatures are normally in the mid-80s F.
This is not your typical reef. Brilliantly colored sea fans, black coral and invertebrate life blanket the rocky structures. Even the reef fish are different here: Pacific species that have evolved into distinct endemic varieties. It's not uncommon to jump into the open blue to snorkel with passing whales while on your way out to the dive site. The Sea of Cortez has long been known for its schools of dolphins, whale pods, sea turtles and sea lion harems, and there is always the chance of seeing something big.
You'll stay in upgraded "Villa" rooms at the Desert Inn, an oceanfront hotel with a large pool, 2 bars (one poolside) and a restaurant, just a short walk to the center of the charming town.
Loreto is home to the first California mission and was once the capital of both Baja and Alta California. An optional excursion to visit the old mission as well as view cave petroglyphs in the desert will be available on the last day of your visit.
Come join trip leader Karen Doby and the men and women of UnderseaX for a fun and interesting fall scuba vacation!
