The crystal clear waters are incredibly calm and with a visibility up to 100 feet are home for more than three thousand different sea species, many of these organisms do not exist in any other place in the world and that's the main reason why diving is a passion for many of the visitors who come to Sonora.

In San Carlos the waters provide a showcase for more than 800 species of marine life. Also you can find two artificial reefs, a sunken ferry and several smaller wrecks that makes of Sonora Bay area an ideal dive destination.

More and more divers are talking about Sonora Sea, which is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the top diving spots in Mexico. Experts agree.
