About this site
The Window is a dive site at San Pedro Nolasco Island in the Gulf of California, a few kilometers off the Sonora coast near San Carlos and Guaymas. The island is uninhabited and protected as a natural reserve, with steep rocky shorelines dropping into the gulf, and its sites are typically reached by boat from San Carlos. Divers at The Window have reported California sea lions along with reef residents such as Cortez clingfish, Cortez damselfish, finescale triggerfish, king angelfish, Panamic cushion stars, and Panamic sergeant majors.
