Why dive here
With 195+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue whales, dolphins, humpback whales, nurse sharks and orcas - North Wall offers some of Sea of Cortez's richest wall diving. Water ranges 21-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
The North Wall gives you exactly what it promises: a sheer drop into the blue. We've seen a surprising amount of schooling fish here, sometimes big jacks cruising past. It's a straightforward wall dive, good for getting your bearings in the area. Best for divers who appreciate dramatic topography over critter hunting.
