The deepwater upwelling that goes past La Bufadora has carved rock spires where the traveling nutrients encourage wild growth on the vertical surfaces. We saw cowries, nudibranches, dorids, tunicates, sponge, hydrocoral, cupcoral anemonies, seafans covering every inch of rock. There were piles of huge starfish and an occaisional 30 armed sunstarfish. The visibility and terrain made for a breathtaking 2 dives. This is done on boats taken out with the local Dale's La Bufadora Dive.

We went to Dale's Dive shop, right down at the Bufadora. The morning boat was full, so we had a few hours to visit La Bufadora and the shops. The shops were fun, and the diving was great - colorful and clear!

Excellent place to visit, the first time anyway, you will find that going back a second day really is kind of boreing. This is a must-see tourist trap if you do visit Ensenada. You have a mile of road with shops, bars, street actors, and restaurants and then the Blowhole at the end of it all. You will want to go when the tide is big and when it is in, you will get soaked and that is half the fun. Also when you are down there, ask the bartender, waiter, or entertainer about the myth of the place...
