We were only 15 feet away from a two month old humpback showing off its new breaching skills between nursing trips with a very chilled out Mom.

Waking up at Socorro Island and looking out of the window there was the first whale of the day just 20 meters away. I would have never imagined that there are so many of them. J First dive at Cabo Pierce: strong current, we saw one manta ray, but only passing by. The other group […]

I am back from time off I left just as the whales they were coming around. I was thinking about the date that I was to come back just to see the whales. So far we left from Cabo with a group of divers from WIRODIVE for 12 days on the first day we stop […]

One of the highlights was snorkelling with a mother humpback whale and her calf! I really believe this was a once in a lifetime experience.

  Today is our last day on the boat, it is a sad day.  This was our first live aboard dive trip and we were overwhelmed by the experience!  From the captain to the deck hands, the crew was awesome; I can’t say enough good things about them!  The whole crew treated us as if […]
