Comments Second time with this outfit. This time on their science-oriented Quino. Drove and parked at the port. Simpler facilities than the Rocio, and a lot of single travelers. Food rocked and the diving was challenging with lots of current. We saw a lot of the usual cast of characters for the Sea of Cortez, and I particularly enjoyed the mobulas and jaw fish and sea horses. And we snorkelled with whale sharks and sperm whales .... sweet! The only negative comment I have is beer is restricted to Tecate!
