Northern Sea of Cortez
September 2026
Let the crew of Rocio del Mar spoil you as we travel throughout the warm and clear waters of the Northern Sea of Cortez. The Sea of Cortez is along the same fault line as the San Andreas Fault. The only other similar topography can be found in the Red Sea! Its northern terminus is in northern Mexico – just a 4 hour drive from Phoenix, Arizona. Legendary explorer and inventor, Jacques Cousteau, called it the “world’s aquarium”. You will dive with sea lion colonies, dense schools of fish, eels, octopuses and jumping mobula rays. Macro photographers will delight in seeing colorful blennies, dancing jawfish, nudibranchs and sea horses.

Travel staff recently went there to experience the dive operators and diving first hand. There are no shortages of them in Thailand. The coastal areas around Phuket are often very crowded with divers from all over the world. The obvious choice is to do a liveaboard to get away from the crowds. In addition to the diving we wanted to include an opportunity to experience the beauty and culture of Northern Thailand and that is where our trip begins…
