  • Sea lions can be quite inquisitive. While diving with a friend in Monterey, California, I would tap two rocks together, to get the attention the sea lions. Sometimes their groups would completely engulf us, and a few braver sea lions would come right up to us to figure out what we were.

  • This large white shark was the most active of the sharks our group saw while cage diving at Guadalupe Island, Mexico. While the warmer waters kept many of the sharks in deeper water for the duration of our trip, on a few occasions this shark ventured up for a closer look.

  • After a so-so dive offshore of Monterey, our dive team was given an amazing safety stop as large sea nettle jellies began drifting by. Usually the jellyfish come in after large algal blooms, so to be in the middle of a jelly smack with clear water was quite a treat.

  • A chain of sea salps drifts by underneath a kelp canopy near Monterey, California. It may seem hard to believe, but these alien looking organisms are related to humans, both being classed in the phylum Chordata.

  • Upon returning to La Paz, our dive boat took a quick detour to try finding whale sharks. To our luck, we encountered a juvenile feeding near the surface. As all the other tourist boats had departed long ago, we were able to have a private encounter with this wondrous creature while it continued its afternoon snack. Taken off of La Paz, Baja Mexico
