Sea of Cortez July 13th-20th 2025
Join us on a true adventure trip! All you have to do in fly into Phoenix Skyharbor airport and we take it from there. Our Sea of Cortez season runs from July through September.
Each trip runs from Sunday to Sunday. The boat departs from Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, at 7 pm. We travel 12 hours and arrive by 7 am the following day, ready for our first dive. The Sea of Cortez is diverse and has a vast array of nudibranchs, blennies, jawfish, rays and guitarfish, schools of fish, eels, octopus, sea horses, frogfish, Mexican horn sharks, and the list goes on and on. We also have a lot of sea lion and whale activity on this trip. We consistently see pilot, fin, and sperm whales.
On the last day of diving, we dive in the morning and then snorkel with whale sharks at Bahia de Los Angeles. By 3 pm, we start motoring back to Puerto Peñasco. Divers enjoy 3 - 4 dives per day and 2-night dives. The crew of Quino el Guardian is here to help you in any way possible to make your visit to the Sea of Cortez/Midriff Islands an unforgettable experience. No request is too small! Please let your crew know if there is anything you want or need anytime during your trip.
