Remote Isla San Pedro Mártir boat dive with sea lions, rocky walls, and liveaboard-style logistics from Bahía de Kino.
About Rabijunco
Rabijunco is the remote sea-lion dive on Isla San Pedro Mártir in the Sea of Cortez, a rocky island site with a dramatic wall-and-reef profile and an expedition-style feel. The water is warm, the scenery is rugged, and the dive is built around big wildlife rather than site infrastructure. The best days are calm boat days: operators anchor on the sheltered side when wind and waves build, and the site rewards divers with sea lions, black coral, schooling fish, rays, jacks, and moray eels. It is a classic remote Baja dive that works best when the boat plan is as solid as the conditions.

Scuba Diving
Remote boat dives on the wall are best when weather and current line up, with wildlife the main draw.
