The southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula hosts 3 main areas, each with their own unique offering for divers. The Cabo San Lucas Marine Park boasts a wide variety and abundance of life from tiny nudibranchs to massive humpback whales. Cabo Pulmo National Park is famous for its enormous school of jacks numbering in the tens of thousands. While La Paz offers diving with mischievous sea lion pups and a resident colony of whale sharks.
