Scuba Diving in La Paz, Mexico

Dive Site: Espiritu Santo Island

Located 30 km (19 mi) north of La Paz from the port of Pichilingue. This is one of the most visited islands on the Sea of Cortez. It is surrounded by a group of small islands, including Isla Partida, Los Islotes, La Ballena, El Gallo and La Gallina.

This island has coral banks that are great scuba diving. You’ll find the best spots at San Gabriel Bay, which has a shallow reef called San Rafaelito, and El Candelero, where you’ll see reefs and underwater caves.

At Isla Ballena you can explore a black coral reef. In this area, you also can observe sea lion colonies and hammerhead sharks.
