Amazed by the Abundance and Diversity of Marine Life in the Sea of Cortez

We have had several close encounters with humpback, fin and minke, and blue whales. Yes! Blue whales are the biggest animal ever on earth. We had other encounters that have blown my mind many times! Seen and swimming with orcas and saw a migration of sperm whales! These giants were gentle and chill in groups of 10 to 20 but were all together probably one hundred individuals.

So Far Our Revenge Trip Is Going Phenomenal

After lunch, we went to La Reina, another dive site. There we got lucky with some super friendly turtles hanging out with us while above us a small group of sea lions was playing at the surface.

To top off the beautiful day we did a sunset dive. This is one of the best times of the day for a dive because I love to see how the reef changes. The day creatures are looking for a safe place to spend the night and the night creatures are starting to roam around.

In general, gobies have bright colors with markings that help them to be identified. They live on the bottom of the reef feeding from smaller invertebrates such as shrimps, worms, and mollusks. However few species act as cleaners, eating parasites from the bodies, mouths, and gills of larger fishes.
