Quino el Guardian are excited to host their first all-ladies trip! And to make it even more special, they are donating 5% of the trip price to Dive for a Cure. After all, we’ve all been touched by breast cancer, some more closely than others.  Why not celebrate life, have some fun and give to a worthy cause. Click here for more information about Dive for a Cure and the wonderful impact they are making.

The Sea of Cortez – known as the Gulf of California – is a breathtaking destination for scuba diving, snorkeling, and exploration. Legendary diver Jacques Cousteau described the Sea of Cortez as the “world’s aquarium”. Dive on untouched walls and reefs abounding in marine life. Encounter large and small whale species, snorkel with whale sharks, dive with playful sea lion colonies and see countless eels, octopus, fish and jumping mobula rays.  It’s a macro photographer’s dream with nudibranchs, colorful blennys, dancing jawfish and sea horses.
