Baja and the Sea of Cortez - Liveaboards - Baja Expeditions

Diving in the Sea of CortezExperience some of the best dive sites in the area that have earned the Sea of Cortez its world-famous reputation for diving excellence on Baja Expedition’s Don Jose.

 

Each day brings new surprises in what Cousteau called “the world's aquarium.” Dive into this giant "fish tank" and you'll share the Sea of Cortez with hundreds of fascinating marine species—including scads, grunts, sergeant majors, machetes, and Mexican barracudas. During some seasons you may find pods of pilot whales and dolphins, jumping mobulas, and with luck— perhaps even rarely seen orcas or sperm whales. 

 

Live-aboard means flexibility, range and optimum diving time that day boats can’t match. Comfortable accommodations and superb meals await you aboard Don Jose, making your adventure a true pleasure. 

 

Don Jose, Sea of Cortez liveaboard by Willem SchalkwijkBreakfast, lunch, and dinner are freshly prepared by onboard cooks. Each evening, you'll also enjoy our famous Don Jose-style happy hour as you witness some of the world's most memorable sunsets.

 

Baja Expedition’s 80’ motor vessel, Don Jose, was designed and built in 1978 especially for them and their unique itineraries.  

 

High above the water, the second and third decks offer excellent vantage points for viewing whales, dolphins, flying mobulas and whale sharks below.  

 

The Don Jose comfortably accommodates up to 16 passengers in seven above-deck, air-conditioned cabins, each with a changing area, storage closet, adjacent shower and head, plus a sink in most.  

 

With a convenient swim step, storage lockers, DVD and VHS video system and a natural history library for your perusal, this vessel will make your adventure a true pleasure.
