The Thrill of a Lifetime
Doug Lang, 11 May 2022I’m staying motionless getting some great video and it keeps coming and coming right at me… I’m waiting for it to veer left or right as it’s a big ocean, but finally, I have to tuck my legs up into myself as I have nowhere to go. The manta passes directly below me and with one quick wing flap spanks me on the ass with enough force to move me up a few feet. -
I Would Never Forget the Contact with Nature

We saw a lot of manta rays, hammerheads, whale sharks, Galapagos sharks, silvertips, and more. It is a wonderful experience and I recommend everyone to come and join the Belle Amie for an amazing trip! -

Dolphins can be a$$holes
Dolphins can be a$$holes. Perhaps a further explanation is warranted. I was down to around 800psi, others were low, and it was almost time to do our safety stop, if we could stay awake long enough from this boring dive.

Log from the Lagoon 20 January 2022
Amidst all this, the whales go on with their business. As we were enjoying the beautiful weather on the panga ride to our camp, we saw a puff of vapor in the distance. It was a gray whale calf! A more voluminous blow spouted up, this time from the mom. Baby looked so tiny next to momma.
