8 day – 7 nt – La Paz – loreto

Personal toiletries. Dive gear (or travel light and use our rental gear). Summer wear, noting that nights will be cooler. It can be very hot in the desert this time of year. Sunscreen (reef-safe sunscreen will be available on board with our compliments), towels, bed linen, soap, and shampoo are provided on board.

It depends on the season. Water temperatures are in the mid-80°F (26°C) range, with 100+ ft visibility. At the end of November, temperatures start cooling and visibility goes down. We recommend a 5mm wetsuit and a hooded vest is always a smart addition to your dive kit.

All the obvious stuff!! i.e. regulators, BCD, computer, mask, wetsuit (we recommend 5mm or 7mm wetsuits), booties and fins (high-quality rentals are available from See Creatures). The park authorities prohibit divers from carrying a knife. Every diver should have their own Nautilus LifeLine but we will loan you one of ours if you haven’t bought yours yet!

Nautilus LifeLines, DiveAlerts and SMB safety sausages.

Sorry, but NO. We carry a great selection of signature drinks, single malts, microbrew beer and a varied wine list, all at very reasonable prices.

We will meet at SeeCreatures Cabo San Lucas located at: Calle Miguel Hidalgo 10, Centro CSL. C.P. 23450, Cabo San Lucas, BCS. We will coach transfer everyone to La Paz where your boat will be waiting for you.

Please be back at SeeCreatures Cabo and ready for your transfer to La Paz by 4:30 pm latest.

Please contact our concierge’s to confirm the meeting place and time.

Yes. We specialize in introducing as many people to scuba diving as possible. We offer a full array of diving courses at SeeCreatures.

YES.

This year, the Sea of Cortez is generally quite calm. If anyone is worried about seasickness, we recommend the prophylactic use of the scopolamine patch. This is the perfect trip and destination for anyone looking for a smooth as possible experience at Sea. Please note that all of our steel ships are stabilized.

Reminder that most Sea of Cortez trips board and return to La Paz with an included transfer to SeeCreatures Cabo San Lucas, or SJD Airport. We are usually back in port by 8 am. Disembarking by 8:30 am after breakfast. It’s a 2-1/2 hour transfer to SJD. For that reason we recommend booking your outward flight 2:00 pm or later.

We highly recommend trip interruption insurance, which will cover you in this unlikely eventuality.

Yes, with reasonable advance notice, we are pleased to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, lactose, intolerant, gluten, free, low sugar, quasi-kosher and quasi-halal. We are likely unable to accommodate other special dietary requests, or guests with severe allergic challenges.

Bar, gift shop, high-speed Internet connection, rentals, nitrox, crew gratuities. A $35 port fee must be paid on board in cash at the end of the trip.

Your experience doesn’t matter. If you’re not certified, we can arrange a discover scuba experience. If you’re an experienced and self-reliant diver, you’re welcome to head off on days by yourself, and do your own thing if you wish, with the sole exception of diving in a national park where diving must be done with a guide. Our dive guides are always available for whoever wants to dive with us.

You will have the opportunity to do up to 4 dives a day on our trips from July to December. Spring trips are more about snorkelling and animal experiences with limited diving opportunities.

YES, VERY! Ask about rental cameras and photo pro services.

Yes! We started offering nitrox in 1996 when it was know as the devil gas. And we did our first rebreather diving in 2000. We have been super nitrox and rebreather friendly ever since.

Our ocean safaris are about the this fabulous inland sea and all the amazing animals, natural history and the sheer beauty of the place. We have been a diving company for 41 years and of course, we know very well how to cater and look after divers. But we have been an eco-experience company for even longer, 47 years and we have a couple of ideas on how to offer more than just diving! Animal encounters. Snorkelling. Pangas. Kayaking. Paddleboarding. Beach walks. Hiking with our naturalists.
