Have you ever been face to face with a hammerhead shark, whale shark, manta ray or sea lion? Well, if the answer is no and you want the chance, diving is the only way to get this experience. If you want the best diving experience you might have to travel a little bit, unless you are already living in Baja California, of course.

An adventure in the Sea of Cortez - and honestly, that's what every trip there is, an adventure - is a fantastic way to get up close and personal with some of the most amazing creatures of the deep. The Sea of Cortez, located between the Baja Peninsula and the Mexican mainland, is home to over 800 types of fish and a variety of larger sea animals.

There are numerous travel, adventure, excursion and diving firms serving Baja California, but there is only one Contender Yacht Charter and no one knows the pristine waters and incredible natural beauty of the Mexican waters like we do.

One of the most popular types of excursions is group diving. It can be much more affordable to book an excursion with a number of friends, and we specialize in group diving packages and can design a unique itinerary for your family, friends or company.

There are several types of diving that you can choose from. These days, "diving" means more than just putting on a wet suit and a tank and jumping into the ocean. You can cave dive, reef dive, shore dive, deep dive, night dive - whatever you choose. Your choices are limitless, so with that in mind, come down to La Paz, get on board and dive into some fun!
