Short on time, big on diving? This quick escape focuses on the southern Sea of Cortez, the classic sites packed into a getaway that's easy to fit around a busy calendar. Explore Jacques Cousteau's "aquarium of the world" during peak scuba diving season, with up to four dives a day (except boarding and disembarkation days), night dives included. You'll dive the legendary southern sites: La Reina and its epic summer baitballs (with luck, even giant mantas), the seamounts of El Bajo, the dramatic volcanic pinnacles of Isla Las Ánimas, Isla San Francisco, and UNESCO-listed Isla Espíritu Santo, home to vibrant reefs as well as nearby shipwrecks (final dive sites subject to recent animal sightings, weather, and conditions). Expect swirling schools of fish, playful sea lions, moray eels, rays, large pods of dolphins, and, fingers tightly crossed, schooling hammerheads. We'll also keep eyes on the horizon for orcas and whales.
