Escape to Paradise
La Paz, Mexico
November 1st to 8th, 2025
For divers, La Paz is the most popular destination on the Baja peninsula.
It is the capital city of Baja California Sur, Mexico and is situated on the coast about 2 hours north of Cabo San Lucas, on the Sea of Cortez side
of the peninsula.
The Sea of Cortez
The Sea of Cortez is home to sea lions, whale sharks, manta and mobula rays, dolphins, huge schools of fish and some fascinating macro life. It is one of the easiest "big animal" destinations to reach and enjoy. Water of all shades of blue sits against an arid desert backdrop and an assortment of islands. The Baja peninsula is home to unique flora and fauna that have evolved in near isolation, so it's no surprise that the Sea of Cortez features magnificent marine life.
Los Islotes lies just off the north tip of Isla Espiritu Santo, close to La Paz. These small islands attract huge schools of sardines, which in turn keep the main attraction, California sea lions, well fed and happy. A colony of more than 200 of these pinnipeds are residents here and the area is famous for the interaction between the sea lions and the divers who visit them. The sea lions are playful and inquisitive and interacting with them is an experience you'll never forget!
What are mobula rays?
Mobula rays are related to mantas and eagle rays. They are often collectively referred to as "devil rays", "flying mobula" or simply "flying rays", due to their frequent breaching, sometimes in a spectacular manner! Their appearance is similar to that of manta rays, which are in the same family. Mantas and mobulas have the largest brain to body ratio of any shark or ray, and are known to engage divers and to show complex behaviours.
