The morning air on La Paz's marina smells of diesel and salt; the boat rocks like a calm promise as guides check tanks and ratchet straps. You slide into the water off the stern and the Sea of Cortez pulls you downward—clear, cool, and full of motion. Sea lions dart like living torpedoes, curious about this slow surface intrusion, while coral gardens fan out below in sudden color.
