About this site
La Palapa lies among the dive sites reached by small boats out of San Carlos Nuevo Guaymas, on the Sonoran coast of the Gulf of California a few hours south of the Arizona border, an area known for its desert mountains meeting the sea. The site sits within the sheltered bays and rocky points that characterize this stretch of coastline, with a maximum depth of around 6.1 metres, making it a beginner dive.
