And we are off on another 10-day expedition that will take us to the Sea of Cortez and the Revillagigedo Archipelago. Because of some rough weather down south, for the first time I have been aboard, we have opted to go to the Sea of Cortez first, and it has been a great decision thus […]

The dives in Cortes Sea were a good surprise for me, playing with the sea lions was great and those dive spots are full of macro life. After that, we arrived in San Benedicto.

Today’s crossing to Socorro Island was very gentle with almost glass seas and a very low swell. We spotted turtles on the way, resting on the surface.

Unfortunately the same is not always true for other parts of Baja California and we have seen disturbing photos of butchered white […]

I saw a coat hanger (plastic) fly off the top deck of the boat at around six thirty a.m. and I sprang into action, grabbed the boat hook and couldn’t quite reach it, when my co-divemaster onboard, Magic Juan extended his hand to mine and reached me over the side of the boat and lowered […]
