Boat dive on San Pedro Nolasco with current, sea lions, and pelagics.
Boat dive on San Pedro Nolasco with current, sea lions, and pelagics.
A boat dive to the north tip of San Pedro Nolasco where the wall and tip can pick up current. Expect strong Sea of Cortez life: schools of angelfish, barracuda, tuna, sea lions, and a black-coral note at depth. It is a classic San Carlos charter dive rather than a shore entry, with local operators handling the logistics and keeping the site in the confident intermediate range.
