About Baja Loca
Baja Loca is an offshore Pucusana rock-and-sand dive where the route moves through broken ledges, crevices, and sandy gaps instead of a single reef wall. It suits advanced divers who want a slow, terrain-first search for nudibranchs and fish in the cracks. Plan it as a boat-run site that depends on a calm window and a clean pickup, because surf and visibility can change quickly.
