24.08.585N 109.45.922W, clear sky, air temp 37C, water temp 28C, vis 20mts, wind S7-8 swell S2-3.

NLG is 5nm south of Cerralvo island. This morning we finally found a big school of mobulas, and although it was going up and down, all the guests had an amazing time, had plenty of opportunity to shoot videos and photos, and were very happy about their encounter with the majestic mobulas.

After breakfast, we found a pod of 200-300 dolphins, mixed between bottlenose, common, and spotted dolphins. They were very curious and friendly with the snorkelers for a while. They were swimming along tunas, on the hunt.

At some point, we saw boobie birds falling from the sky and dolphins jumping in frenzy and hoped for a static bait ball to form but it vanished when snorkelers jumped in. Guests had a great time in the water, several of them told me it was their best interaction with dolphins. The water was clear and blue. Yesterday we searched for the orcas again on the east side of Cerralvo island, we did not encounter much for the whole afternoon so we did a dive at La Reyna when the plane went back to the airport. the dive was good, the current was mild, and lots of fish.
