Dive-site story
Situated directly at the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula where the Pacific Ocean collides with the Sea of Cortez, Land's End features dramatic underwater granite formations and steep drop-offs. Divers encounter dynamic oceanic currents that bring pelagic species alongside a resident sea lion colony. Underwater terrain shifts quickly from shallow boulder fields to deep sand chutes and shear walls.
