About this site
El Cien takes its name from a stretch of the Baja California Sur coast along the Pacific side of the peninsula, south of La Paz toward Los Cabos. This part of the coastline is sparsely developed, with the highway running nearby and access typically depending on local boat operators. The dive site sits over a reef and is rated a beginner dive.
