Read MoreI miss them so much. I did not know how much I needed my session of manta love till today. This morning we had a magical encounter with two oceanic manta rays at La Reina Lighthouse north of Cerralvo Island, For several moments I felt I was in Socorro. We were at the canyon of the dive site enjoying the sea lions when the manta started coming towards the site from the blue. It was a chevron male and it decided to stop and circle us around very slowly. Looking at all the divers of the group.

Later on, we heard in the distance the clicks and noises of dolphins. Not too long later we were the center of attention and excitement of this pod of 20-30 dolphins that were completely curious about us, checking us out while we sat on the sandy bottom and watch them back for long 20 minutes.

Read MoreBreathtaking. To see the two schools of these species together. At one moment I thought there were three sharks getting clean in one of the outside pinnacles but there were the biggest three milk fishes I have ever seen. When we thought that the dive could not get better a Chevron Oceanic Manta Ray came to show us all its majesty. Another memorable dive in La Reina. Another example of how every season the Sea of Cortez is getting better!
Read MoreWhat a nice dive we had here. Our guests came up super happy. After this dive, we went to the next place called las Animas for another 3 amazing dives. On all the dives we had a nice interaction with the Sea Lions and one of the groups found a large school of Hammerhead Sharks.
Read MoreOn our first morning of this trip, we woke up by La Ventana bay in front of Cerralvo Island. Soon we spotted two fin whales and we were watching them from the flying bridge when suddenly we saw 5 to 10 different spouts! Our hearts started to beat faster when we saw those whales were sperm whales! A big pod of at least 20 individuals. Some adults, some young, and a few babies. It was incredible to see these whales from so close.
