There were at least nine sharks at the surface at one time going from mature 40-foot sharks to a baby 8-foot ones, but maybe we saw 12-14 different ones. Some of them were incredibly mellow and kept coming towards the divers while feeding

We started our day whit a blue dive from the back of the boat. It was a good training dive for what it was coming next. We got to chase a massive group of common dolphins, baby dolphins included in the pod to fast for us but it was amazing to be able to see them jumping out of the water more than 20+ at the time.

Every place we have been diving has been full of marine life, Sea Lions, Hammerheads sharks, school of tropical fish, school of Mexican Barracudas, a pod of dolphins one-day swimming by in a sailing day.

In this trip to the Sea of Cortez, we saw Hammerheads, wrecks and Sealions and many more things. But also our awesome guests contribute a lot to the success of each trip, and this group was great fun!! On one of the last days at San Francisco, we decided to declare a spontaneous Women’s Dive Day, so I took the eight ladies on a dive, and it ended up being one of the best dives of the whole trip.

What a great dive day!!! This is the best time to be out in the sea of Cortez, we dove at la Reina, and there were so many different schools of fish and lots of sea lions.

Today we did three dives at el Islotes, the sea lion colony in Espiritu Santo island.
The water is still 80F, and there were lots of playful sea lions all over the place.

After few months of world C19 situation, now here I am on the beautiful Ship NAUTILUS EXPLORER, diving in the Sea of Cortez for 1 week.
Jacques Cousteau said ones, “The Sea of Cortez is the Aquarium of the world”, and its true !
