Dianne Smith, Seattle, USA: “it was excellent, very good…we saw octopuses, guitar sharks and other species good visibility…it is very different from other places where I have dived…”

Enrique Martínez, Manager of the dive shop: “…right now, for example, it is the cold water season…it is important, in fact, to bring a complete wetsuit and a thick wetsuit that is seven mm and we are also using the hoods for all customers so that they go more comfortable and warm…”

Humberto Isaza, New Jersey, USA: “We went to the arch and went to where the point is and the Pacific and the Sea of ​​Cortez…the water was very clean and a little cold…and we went into a cave, very beautiful…”

Isabel Isaza, New Jersey, USA: “ Today was very beautiful, more pleasant than yesterday, we saw many fish nearby and manta rays in the sand and when I got closer they would swim out, it was really beautiful…”
