Concierge.com's insider take:
The Sea of Cortez offers divers the chance to swim with whale sharks, manta rays, sea lions, sea turtles, and hammerhead sharks around the seamounts and islands off La Paz. Baja Expeditions runs live aboard dive trips around the sea from June to November and day dive trips from La Paz. The region's only coral reef system grows close to shore around Cabo Pulmo. Snorkelers and divers spot seahorses and sea bass in 80-degree water during the summer and find small hotels, restaurants, dive shops, and campgrounds in a relatively unpopulated beachfront community. Divers make quick boat trips with Amigos del Mar to El Arco in Los Cabos to watch sandfalls spilling hundreds of feet down an undersea canyon.
