Dive-site story
Off Land's End in the Cabo San Lucas Marine Park, a rocky wall descends into a submarine canyon. Sand pours over submerged ledges here, forming the underwater sand falls first documented by Jacques Cousteau. Protected shallows shelter schools of reef fish, while pelagic species and California sea lions patrol the drop-off.
