La Paz located on the Bahia La Paz is the perfect starting point for scuba diving tours to the Sea of Cortez. Once called the "World's Aquarium" and "Galapagos of North America" (by Captain Jacques Cousteau). The Gulf of California as the Sea of Cortez also is refered to is home to a unique and rich ecosystem. In addition to a wide range of endemic creatures, it hosts many migratory species, such as the humpback whale, California Gray Whale, manta ray and Leatherback Sea Turtle.
Before Cocos Island, Costa Rica became "in" the seamounts of the Sea of Cortez were the place to observe schooling hammerheads and sea lions. Water visibility and temperatures vary. In winter and spring there's a thermocline, with 70 to 80 degree water on the surface and 50 to 60 degree water below 30-40 feet.... Visibility is determined by the plankton blooms; while it's low (2540 feet) in midsummer, it generally improves to 80 to 100 feet by late summer.
