The most awesome sight I've seen underwater. Hammerheads, Galapagos and white tip sharks, schooling tuna and, of course, the whales each time.

The most awesome sight I’ve seen underwater. Mama and baby humpback interacting with many divers. 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. Its impossible to explain the once in a lifetime sights that you can […]

Sharks, mantas and humpback whales at Roca Partida

For the last two days, we have been snorkelling in between dives at will, with humpback whales, a mother and calf. She is obviously a very comfortable mom as she lets Jr. roam a bit. The calf comes to the surface, breathes, frolics around the divers snorkelling at the surface, then goes back down to mom, who is hovering what appears to be motionlessly at about 8-10 metres below.

Amazing dive: we have seen White-tipped sharks, a silver-Tipped shark swimming by at some distance, some spotted a Hammerhaed in the distance. On the 3rd dive I am pretty sure, that it was a Galapagos Shark […]
