Itching to get back in the water but hesitant to get on an international flight? One place you can do that is the Sea of Cortez.
Just fly to Phoenix, Arizona and take a shuttle to Puerto Penasco where you’ll board Quino el Guardian and experience a world-class dive trip. And if you live in the Southwestern United States, you can drive there.
The Sea of Cortez, called “The World’s Aquarium” by Jacques Cousteau, features colorful nudibranchs, blennies, jawfish and seahorses to the other end of the spectrum with playful sea lions, dolphins, and whales. A highlight of the trip is snorkeling with whale sharks.
Trips are eight days long, Sunday to Sunday, and run between July 19th and September 13th.
