August 19th – 26th, 2023
Come join us August 19th – 26th, 2023 for scuba diving, snorkeling, and exploration of this breathtaking destination. Legendary diver Jacques Cousteau described the Sea of Cortez as the “world’s aquarium”. Dive on untouched walls and reefs abounding in marine life. Encounter large and small whale species, snorkel with whale sharks, dive with playful sea lion colonies, and see countless eels, octopus, fish, and jumping mobula rays. It’s a macro photographers’ dream with nudibranchs, colorful blennies, dancing jawfish, and sea horses.
To get to the boat, most guests fly into the Phoenix, Arizona Sky Harbor Airport (airport code PHX) to get to Puerto Penasco. A private shuttle company, Head Out To Rocky Point, picks up everyone at 1 pm at the airport. They have large, 12-passenger, air-conditioned vans with trailers for the luggage. They stop along the way for a restroom break, and there is a grocery store if you want to pick up snacks or beverages to bring on board (including alcoholic beverages). The shuttle gets you to the boat by 5:30 pm. They pick up at 7:30 am and get everyone to the airport by noon at the end of the trip. They are experienced in crossing the border and assist guests all along the way.
