Dolphins in Loreto National Marine Park
Look how much they love to race around!
Sea Lions Frolicking
We had hoped to be able to see some Sea Lions on the trip to the Loreto National Marine Park in the Sea of Cortez, because we knew they liked to hang out there at least part of the year.
Our dive guide, Rafael from the Dolphin Dive Center gave us the opportunity to watch the sea lions underwater on our very first dive. The video below was taken with my small Sea & Sea 860DXG underwater camera.
Dolphins As Far As the Eyes Could See
The boat ride with the bottlenose dolphins was great. The very next day, on our boat ride out to the dive sites, we saw this ~ 200 member pod of common dolphins. If I turned my head to the left and looked I could see dolphins, and if I turned my head all the way to the right I could still see dolphins. Amazing.
The pod apparently had somewhere they either needed to be, or there was something they were trying to get away from, because they were serious about their travels.
