  • This pod of Bottlenose Dolphins stayed with me and my buddy for more than 15 minutes as we were drifting in the blue just off of Wolf Island in the Galapagos. Certainly one of the best moments of my underwater life!

  • Some more whales from Magdalena Bay last week. Remember how I said they weren't the prettiest?

  • Every winter, the grey whales of the eastern Pacific gather in the sheltered bays of the Californian peninsula. They make the long trip down from the cold and rich waters off Alaska to give birth to their calves, nurse them and mate. This annual migration is believed to be the longest annual migration of any mammal! What makes this species so interesting to the layman is not just their prehistoric look (let's be honest, they're not exactly the most photogenic whale...), but most of all their amazing curiosity. They regularly approach whale watching boats, and often even establish physical contact. The whales seem in no way bothered by the boats and will sometimes even atempt to play with them. This particular individual stayed with us for more than 15 minutes, slowly spinning underneath the boat, gently bumping it with its mouth and tail, and even showing us its belly a few times!

  • Two striped marlin herd a sardine baitball. Seeing these guys hunt in the dozens has been the highlight of my week in Bahía Magdalena, Mexico. We also saw whales, makos, breaching threshers, dolphins, mahi mahi, countless turtles and lots and lots of sea lions. More pics to follow!
