I went scuba diving here on 12/2/2014. Average viz: 31-35ft/9-11m. Water temp: 76-80°F/24-27°C.
This was Logged Dive 1120, This part of the diving world is very interesting. We dived the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean on a single dive. After our entry we entered an underwater cave at about 40 ft. near Seal or Sea Lion Rock. Our next transit was through a narrow channel next to Arch Rock as we entered the Pacific. At this point we are diving around a wreck, or what remains of a wreck or two, as there is not a great deal of information of this site. All the remains is a lot of steel structure. We depart the wreck site and swim to the icon of Lands End. At this point in our dive we are near the end of our dive. During this dive I had to swim at 40 ft. off the bottom. The 64 ft. depth was causing me a little stress on my bottom time. I worked my computer to avoid a DECO stop. This is one dive location I would return to dive.

Great interaction with sea lions, but watch out for the heavy surge and rip currents! (AKA give plenty of room between you and the rocks) Drops off quickly to ~70ft with some nice rock walls. Look for colorful nudibranchs, eels, and schooling fish.
