Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park
Cabo Pulmo is famous for some of the best scuba diving in the entire Baja Peninsula. This jewel of Baja has one of just three coral reefs in North America, and the reef is 5,000 years old. It is believed to be the only living coral reef in the Sea of the Cortez. Cabo Pulmo is just 60 miles north of Los Cabos.
The area was designed a National Marine Park by the Mexican government in 1995, which has helped protect the area and it's remarkable marine life. Prior to this, the area was a fishing village, and advances in fishing technology were emptying the formerly rich Cabo Pulmo reef of all of its fish. It was at this point that local fishermen decided to stop fishing, protect the reef, and change from a commercial fishing economy to a tourism-based economy, and in 1995, Cabo Pulmo was declared a National Marine Park. This was an extremely difficult and complex process, as Cabo Pulmo is located in a tiny desert enclave without major resources, little water, isolated from the rest of the state, and fishing was the village’s only important source of economic production. After making the commitment to protect the reef, all bets were on tourism, a fairly unknown activity for the East Cape at the time.
When you take a scuba diving tour in Cabo Pulmo you are participating in a regenerative adventure, which helps conserve the wonderful marine ecosystem and support the local community.
