Be part of an amazing expedition to Isla Jaques Gusteau.
Jacques Cousteau Island, formerly known as Isla Cerralvo, is an island located off the coast of La Paz, Mexico. It is the ninth-largest island in Mexico and is known for its beautiful beaches, clear waters, and abundant marine life. The island was renamed in 2009 in honor of the famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, who visited the island in the 1950s and 1960s.
Jacques Cousteau Island is a popular destination for tourists, divers, and fishermen. The island has a number of beaches, including Playa Norte, which is known for its white sand and clear waters. The island is also home to a number of reefs, which are popular for snorkeling and diving. Jacques Cousteau Island is a great place to see a variety of marine life, including fish, turtles, rays, and dolphins.
If you are looking for a relaxing beach vacation or an exciting diving adventure, Jacques Cousteau Island is a great place to visit.
Itinerary and Logistics
Our adventure to La Paz begins at the Nautilus DiveTech facilities, where we will meet at 6:00 am to leave to the park. We can take you to a local restaurant for some breakfast to go.
The park is 2.5 hours away by road, once we get to the shore we deploy our boat to get to the diving sites, this takes 1 hour of sea travel.
The moment we reach a nice distance between the diving sites we check the diving gear one last time and decide which site is the best, depending on the weather, saturation, and opportunities to watch specific species.
The trip consists of two dives at your favorite diving locations, the first one is recommended to be a bit easier and shallow so you can gain confidence for a second more complex and interesting one.
Once we finish the two dives we sail back to the shore, in the way back we can probably see other magnificent species, such as minky whales. since the return is a bit long we suggest eating lunch on the boat so that when we get to the shore we can get back to Cabo in good time.
Since it’s a full day, we recommend sleeping well, bringing extra clothes, a cold jacket, and anything that makes you feel comfortable on the road.
