El Bajo Sea Mounts

★★★★☆ (194)

Probably the most famous dive site in La Paz, Mexico, the Baja Seamounts are a series of seamounts ravaged by heavy current as they are exposed to the open ocean of the Sea of Cortez, therefore, this is considered an advanced to expert dive site and only accessible by boat.

Expect to see giant manta rays (mobulas), turtles, hammerhead sharks, and even humpback and sperm whales.
