2North Himalaya Bay
Bay is divided by Mushroom Rock into left and right sides. From spring through fall, water temperatures are warm (80 - 85 degrees at the bottom), and only tidal currents are present. Ample fish and invertebrate species occupy the bay, and shore dives are easy access. Deeper dives are available via short trips on boat, and some dive shop excursions include these. Bay is occasionally visited by local fishermen, but is not heavily fished. Bottom composition runs from smooth, sandy expanses to large, rocky reefs. Himalaya Bay is 15 miles/24km down a series of dirt roads from the nearest paved road. There are no accomodations or facilities, but the Bay is open for camping. Some Arizona dive shops schedule regular trips to Himalaya, and these are the best option for any multi-day stay, as they often bring compressors for tank refills. The site has been accessed by standard passenger sedans, but it is not recommended. A 2WD pick-up has no problem reaching Himalaya, and 4WD is nice but not essential. Be careful when arriving, as the beach is loose gravel and vehicles easily get stuck in it. I have a GPS cue-sheet for the route to the Bay. North Himalaya Bay is also known as El Himalaya, Bahia Himalaya.
