The matchless experience of diving alongside a whale shark is priceless, given that this is the largest fish in the world, reaching up to a 15 meter dimension featuring both shark and whale notorious characteristics, though with a certain mellow temper that allows approaching it to observe its unique specky colors of white circles. The gigantic sting gray also known as “Cubanas” is another important specie that prowls all over the coasts, with fins 5 meters wide and breathtaking smooth motions; both are proud Californian Gulf species.

Jacques Cousteau, the renowned marine researcher, certainly had a reason to name the Sea of Cortes as the Largest World Aquarium due to the endless abundance of species that can only be sited here and also appreciated from close distance.
