Dive Sites
Here is a list of dive which the staff of UWE have dived in the past.

Sea of Cortez (Baja California)
Cabo Pulmo
In June of 1995 this area was offically declared a Marine preserve by the Mexican Government. It is approximately 11 miles long with at least 8 different fingers of coral reefs. It is the northernmost living coral reef in the Eastern Pacific and the only living coral reef in the entire Sea of Cortez. This is the premier scuba area in the Sea of Cortez.
The reef is formed by the rocky formation of the surrounding bay which provides a shelter and helps maintain the waters at a constant temperature. Coral requires very specific temperatures to thrive and the waters in this area provide a perfect environment. The bay is an ideal place for snorkels and beginner divers with much of the reef accessible from shore. However, there is also spectacular sites awaiting the more advanced and experienced divers with most dives between 30 – 70 feet.
