This book is the most complete and user friendly guide to diving and snorkeling along Baja California's Sea of Cortez. Covering the terrain and marine life of 91 of Baja's best dive sites, some of them little known, are described in detail.

Whether you are a serious diver or a holiday snorkeler, Diving and Snorkeling the Sea of Cortez will prove an invaluable reference book.
The 1000 mile Sea of Cortez hugs the Baja peninsula. Known for its desolate offshore islands and incredible marine life, it lures divers and snorkelers from all over the world. This great sea along with the Revillagigedos give divers chance encounters with the giant manta rays, hammerhead sharks, playful sea lions, wrecks and marine life endemic only to the Sea of Cortez.
Accommodations along this great stretch of land range from luxury resorts to campsites with huge stretches of sparkling deserted beaches and unspoiled reefs. The Sea of Cortez is unique. It is a place where once you visit; you know you'll be back.
