Comments	The first day diving at Coronado Island was wonderful. The second dive it was worth it with a colony of sea lions and they’re willing to play. Met several turtles, tropical fish and some coral. The Dive staff was good and willing to please. They led us to some dolphin pods and that was really fun to watch. Diving Danzante island was somewhat boring and there was not too much to see other than some tropical fish. However there are a few nudibranch and other critters. The beauty of the islands are breathtaking and worth just taking pictures top side too Villas Del Palmar was about 20 miles south of Loreto so rent a car. The resort was nice and food good.
