Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez the “aquarium of the world” for a good reason. This aquatic habitat is brimming with extraordinary sea life you can’t find anywhere else, which has earned it the UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
Our experienced captain will search in the protected area, while your guide gives you a briefing about animal facts and biology, safety, and how to enjoy this activity with maximum respect for the environment and the marine creatures. Probably you will have to endure his /her many guide jokes too
