Los Islotes

★★★★★ (3,483)

Once referred to as the ’aquarium of the world’ by Jacques Cousteau, diving in the waters surrounding La Paz, Mexico is just that: so full of diverse marine life it’s like diving in an aquarium. Los Islotes boasts great rock formations and tons of marine life but most divers come here for the sea lions.

Guaranteed interaction with the California sea lion, lots of sub-tropical fish, corals, and possible dolphin and manta ray sightings.
