Dive-site story
Situated off the northern tip of Isla Cerralvo near La Paz, this rocky outcrop drops into submerged boulders and rocky reefs swept by the rich currents of the Sea of Cortez. The site serves as a vital cleaning station where oceanic manta rays often glide in from the blue, accompanied by patrolling sea lions and dense schools of fish that shelter among the gorgonians.
