What really made the dives special was the Mobula rays. On every dive we did here (5 total), we saw Mobula and I don’t mean one or two. I mean many, and the action was constant for the whole of our dives sometimes.

Well it’s the last trip of the season in my favorite boat, Nautilus Explorer. We’ve been having a lot of fun; our guests in this trip are awesome. They are enjoying every dive site we go to. Now we end this day of diving in Los Islotes, where the sea lions were very playful. The […]

Location: Espiritu Santo, Sea of Cortez, Baja California, Mexico We made this morning’s  dive at whale island. Explored the caverns and swimthrough and found some beautiful nudibranchs.

Talking about big critters, we did the whale shark snorkeling again and had 5 of them. Everyone saw them. But this time they where not staying and feeding at the surface but resting their tails on the sandy bottom like last time. And in just in 30 feet of water, a young Humpback whale came by!!
