With a half-dozen enormous creatures putting on this display, the effect is electrifying. Socorro Islands, Baja mexico, Jan 4th 2012

Cabo Pierce was amazing today. The first morning dive was especially impressive. We saw dolphins. We saw nudibranchs. We saw octopi and white tip reef sharks. And then there were the Mantas: giant, graceful, bizarrely interactive. They swim straight up to you, look you in the eye, slowly twist to show-off their distinctive markings, and […]
