This site is on the west side of the bay.

Over the sandy 20 ft ledge at Anegada rock is a wall, which drops down 3,000 ft into a submarine canyon. At 90 ft there is the Sandfalls where at certain times of the year, large amounts of sand build up in shallower depth cascade downwards. Great opportunity to see an array of local tropical fishes and also in the summer time we can see manta rays. Great spot for night dive and also for snorkeling!! |

Years of wind and waves have hollowed out a huge archway through which the waves of the Pacific Ocean break, joining the waters of Sea of Cortez. Giant angular rocks cascade down to depth of 60 ft where there is a sandy bottom. The short walls along the rocks are full of small ledges, which creates homes for large eels, reef fishes, sea turtles alike. In this area the sea lion colony is located. You can have a great fun experience with playful sea lions.
