Ocean condition was not bad, we were expecting encounter hammer head sharks at El Bajo but unfortinately we missed them.
Visibility 60ft, water temperture 82F without thermocline.
The fourth dive was at El Bajito.
There was some curret, we decided to do macro dive which is not very popular in La Paz.
Beautiful gobies, nudibranch, octopus was around the rocks, it was good change of pace to switch our eyes from wide mode to macro mode, we enjoyed a lot.
