Plongée à Cabo Pulmo — Mexico
Cabo Pulmo is what happens when a fishing community bans fishing entirely. Since 1995, biomass has increased 460% — the greatest marine recovery ever documented. Bull sharks school by the hundreds, jack tornadoes fill the water column, and groupers the size of Volkswagens sit on the reef.
