It was a fishing village a couple of decades ago until the fish population began to decrease significantly. For a few years, the measure of prohibiting fishing had to be taken so that the fish population could return to the sea. In<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 1995 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cabo Pulmo was declared a National Marine Park and fish slowly began to return, making Cabo Pulmo one of the most successful marine reserves in the world. Divers come here for shark diving, especially for diving with mighty bull sharks. These creatures gained a reputation as dangerous and aggressive animals. And it is certainly true. Although some might say that they do not seem to be bothered about scuba divers. It\u2019s truly an exciting experience to encounter bull sharks. Whitetip sharks were also spotted here. Although they typically do not travel long distances, sometimes they come from Socorro. Of course, whale sharks need to be mentioned when talking about Cabo Pulmo because they migrate here to breed. The deep waters of the Gulf of California protect them from predators like blue marlins and orcas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Midriff Islands<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Midriff Islands are sometimes called a paradise for macro photographers. Divers often spot nudibranchs, colorful blennies, and seahorses here. The topography of these islands impresses lots of divers. Due to their volcanic origin, landscapes vary from rocks and finger reefs to steep walls and seamounts. Divers often spot tiny micro creatures, dolphins, mantas, eagle rays, mobula rays, jacks, barracuda, and many others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/divebooker.com\/mexico-la-paz-eaz762\">La Paz<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La Paz is popular for its high chances of encountering big animals. Prepare to spot whale sharks, hammerheads, joyful sea lions, mobula rays, and a few types of whales. You don\u2019t necessarily have to dive to get the most from this destination. The superb experiences are accessible even for snorkelers. This made <a href=\"https:\/\/divebooker.com\/boatsearch\/?et=2&amp;e=3927&amp;f[fdp][762]=1&amp;sort=priceasc\">La Paz a great destination<\/a> for families and groups with non-divers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-1843\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661.jpg\" alt=\"School of fish\" width=\"2464\" height=\"1632\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%272464%27%20height%3D%271632%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%202464%201632%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%272464%27%20height%3D%271632%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661-200x132.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661-640x424.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661-800x530.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661-1200x795.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661-1536x1017.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.divebooker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/shutterstock_169126661.jpg 2464w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 2464px) 100vw, 2464px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Sea of Cortez liveaboard cruises<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This destination is so varied that even liveaboards that have been cruising in Mexico for a long time cannot choose one destination.
