Lots of local fish scrounge around the sandy bottom looking for their next meal. This large mantis shrimp had a close encounter with a hungry spotted snake eel, and lived to enjoy another day in Cabo Bay.
My 1st underwater encounter with a magnificent humpback whale and it's baby daughter. Shot at Roca Partida Island, Mexico on May 2, 2006. See my dive photos at: http://www.flickr.co m/photos/87522608@N0 0/
Cuales leyes, cuales instituciones, cual democracia. Porque tenemos que aguantar al Peje-ndejo y su pequeño grupo de "simpatizantes" pagados con la simple excusa, "disculpen las molestias"?
A friendly group of dolphins joined during several dives at the Socorro islands, Mexico, and one group did some hunting for early breakfast. I was hoping to catch the moment of the actual kill but the big eye jacks were playing hard to get. Many thanks to the staff and crew of the Solmar V for the great dives and service.
Many species of Rays play in the waters of Cabo San Lucas Bay, Mexico. The eagle rays I think are the most beautiful of the whole bunch. These 2 were having a good time chasing each other around the camera.
Generally very shy, this southern stingray was in a feisty mood. Reminded me of the recent accident of Steve Irwin. Amazing how quick things can happen with some wild animals.
A very good year will end soon, hopefully 2007 will be even better. From the friendly sea lions of the Sea of Cortez and myself, best wishes for everyone.
