I saw countless oceanic mantas, dolphins, and seven species of shark, silky, Galapagos, white tip reef, oceanic blacktip, silvertip, scalloped hammerhead, and tiger. While I love to visit new places, Socorro will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will continue to return.

His knowledge of their evolution, behavior, and reproduction is invaluable. This research helps organizations like Manta Trust better identify the manta population of the area and campaign for better protection.
