I love Cabo Pulmo. I love staying there. I love the pace. I love being able to walk everywhere and how the idea of being stuck in traffic usually means a bunch of cows or goats crossing the road when you're heading to or from the airport to get there. I am of the firm opinion that if you want to...

Hi! I'm hoping to go to Cozumel soon but also would like to go to the mainland for some sight seeing and cenotes. I heard that Mexico charges up to 60% tax on "professional" camera equipment and that has me quite concerned. If this is an issue, it's best that I go somewhere else. I have Sony...

I am planning my 2021 dive trip and I have always wanted to dive Bimini & Sea of Cortez. Any recommendations for either would be appreciated. Also I would love to hear about favourite dive destinations to add to my ever growing list.

In 2018, after a 15-year absence, giant "oceanic" manta rays returned to la Reina, a small islet in the sea of Cortez, Mexico. The islet of la Reina is also home to a colony of sea lions, who would often swim up to the manta rays, and interact with these new and elegant visitors...
