About Corralito
Corralito is a shallow Sea of Cortez reef off Isla Espíritu Santo known for jawfish, small reef life, and clear water. The site sits inside a protected island setting with small coral patches and a gentle profile, so it is more about careful reef work than big walls or deep water. Light to moderate current and boat access from La Paz or Espíritu Santo make it a site for divers who want an easygoing but lively reef stop.
