Divers interacting with a giant pacific manta

And of course, I get to be in the water all the time! Yes I get to see humpbacks, mantas, sharks of […]

The thing I love about night dives is how your senses hearing and feelign are heightened as the sense of sight is restricted. On tonight’s night dive at El Aquario, the water was filled with whale songs coming from every direction. For 8 minutes the wails and crys were so loud you could feel the vibrations in your chest.

These stunning, giant creatures have the same brain to body ratio as we do, 5:1, and it makes me wonder if they are able to recognize us as well.

One of the things I love most about diving again and again at Socorro is being able to develop a connection with the incredible giant manta rays.

Weather picked up, winds decided to blow and we were off to start our second day at Roca Partida. A we launched the skiffs at 0630, a large splash towards Roca caught my eye. Humpback whales again! After yesterdays orca attack on the poor calf, I assumed the whales would have departed the rock to […]
