How do you describe the indescribable? – Jan. 01, 2012-Jan. 03, 2012 – Socorro Island, Baja California, Mexico.

I'll never complain again about getting up at 07:30 on holiday. December, 2011. Isla Socorro, Baja California, Mexico

I’ll never complain again about getting up at 07:30 on holiday. FANTASTIC first dive of the day at Punta Tosca. I have to look at the video to confirm I wasn’t still asleep and dreaming. Dolphins, mantas and more dolphins all came to greet us as we wiped the sleep from our eyes. The dolphins […]
