Hi:
The baja diving is located mainly in 3 places:
1) La Paz. Many great sites, best season late summer early fall, as said already. Many dive shops, Pm me if you want some more tips on any dive service in particular, I have worked with almost every LDS over there. Good city, (it is the state capital) different than Cabo, still (as said already) great places to eat & stay. The islands near there are beautiful. The diving is usually 2 o 3 tanks per day, the boat ride is one hour at least but the chance to see pelagics ans sharks is good! The dive at the island with the sea lions is an experience you have to see. Mantas, hammerheads, whale sharks, sea lions, etc etc
2) Cabo Pulmo. National Park. 13 years without fishing or anchoring on the reef, you can tell. Big pelagics around, lots of mantas, whale sharks, sharks (I saw 2 sharks there snorkeling in 2ft of water, amazing). There some resorts to stay, some comfortable some pretty rustic, no electricity in town, only solar or generated locally, a couple of good LDS and overall GREAT experience. You can drive from Cabo is a 2 hour ride, the road is not dangerous, Baja is pretty friendly with tourists. The boat rides to the dive sites are 10 minutes from shore.. good food around if you want shrimp, fish etc etc,
3) Loreto. This area of the peninsule below the Sierra de La Giganta mountains has the most amazing landscapes. It is also a National Park protected, the diving is very good similar to La Paz, maybe less dive sites but enough to make a week of diving and no repeating dive sites. Good LDS and a very relaxed ambient. It is a village way bigger than Pulmo but way smaller than La Paz, very good places to eat&stay.
Any questions, PM me. I will be glad to help
