Comments	[None]Land based dive operation not connected with hotel, so hotel was separate. Dive ops owner is active diver and is expert in sea life of Sea of Cortez, as is divemaster Rafael. Diving is from Panga sized boats and we never had more that six divers on a boat at any time. Dives were lead by divemaster but divers could do their own thing if they wished. Sea life in Sea of Cortez at Loreto is abundant. Area is marine reserve and animals reflect protection. Lobsters came out of their holes and touched diver's hands with their horns to see what they were. Damsel fish would play knock a rock off my reef as long as you wanted to stay with them. Dive shop has excellent layout for cleaning and drying gear between dives. Had to leave two days early due to tropical storm approaching from Baja, and hated to go. Will go again next year.
