I had dreamed of doing this over a decade and absolutely no regrets, worth every penny. Truly unforgettable vacation. – Diana, Victoria, Canada We […]

First mate Tavis and I slipped into the water off Cedros Island to check out hordes of sea lions, Guadalupe fur seals and the elephant seals making such a ruckus on the beach.

After 3 Magical days with the great White sharks it was time to point the boat towards the waters of Cedros and Benitos I think some of our guests had already started to wonder how this trip could get any better after spending that much time in the water with such huge animals. This morning […]

We stayed for three days and we saw some huge female great whites that we have not seen for the entire season so that was excellent. There was a big male sea lion that had a bite on the side of it and it seemed that it was recently done but he was not shy […]

San Benitos and the word of the day is sea-lions. Day 4 and it was a 4-dive day for me. The first three dives of the day were like being dropped in a sea lion nursery just surrounded by juvenile sea lions that wanted to play around and figure out who these strange looking visitors […]
