La Paz

La Paz is a coastal city in Baja California Sur, often used as a gateway to the Gulf of California’s rich dive scene. It serves as a practical base for liveaboard trips and day boats to nearby wrecks, reefs, and pinnacles along the Gulf of California. Local centers offer courses, equipment rental, and guided dives; water is typically warm with clear visibility, and sightings include reef fish, rays, sea lions, and occasional larger pelagic species depending on the site and season.
