About Morro
Morro is a boat-accessed pinnacle dive off Isla San Pedro Martir in the Sea of Cortez, known for close sea-lion encounters around rocky ledges, caves, and black-coral-covered structure. It suits divers who are comfortable in open water, because wind exposure and current can shift the feel of the dive from sheltered to moderately moving.
