Some stunning shots of the incredible Striped Marlin Run captured by our trip leader @saultphotography on our recent trip to Baja!! ✨✨
This event occurs every year, with the exciting and intense race for food quite the spectacle to see!
We often observe striped marlin and sea lions (and occasionally whales!) hunting in synchrony to push bait balls to the surface. 🐟
This also allows sea birds to hunt from the sky, creating one of the most awe-inspiring scenes one can ever experience underwater. 🦅

We just had two seriously insane back-to-back UW Photography trips to Baja California, and here is some of the footage! 🐳🤩
There were some serious "pinch me" moments, being in the middle of the ocean surrounded by dolphins, seeing striped marlins for the first time and swimming with playful sea lions. 🦭
A big thanks to our photographers and trip leaders Ryan Sault and David Langlois, as well as our Baja expert Donna Schechter for sharing her knowledge and deep love for this beautiful place with us all. 🥰
Our second Baja trip of the season was nothing short of spectacular! ✨✨
Whales, dolphins, sea lions and birds… and that was just above the surface! 🐳🐬🦅
Below we had the opportunity to jump in and photograph sea lions, as well the incredible striped marlin and the sardine run. 🐠
A big thanks to our trip leaders Ryan @saultphotography, David @davidlangloiss and Donna @2csfreediving for your guidance on this expedition!!
Ryan will be leading our next expedition to Baja in June, where we’ll be diving in La Ventana to witness the mobula ray aggregation. 🤯
We will also be on the lookout for whales, orcas, and sea lions. 🦭
Send us a message for more details on this next trip! Hurry, spots are already filling up fast. 🥳

Manta magic ✨🤙🤿
It’s always a great dive when you see a manta, unplanned!! Our trip leader @tianioceani typically likes to shoot macro, but was glad to have brought her wide angle setup on this dive! 😆🧜♀️

Seahorses are some of our favourite animals to spot on a dive! ✨🥳🤿
They are not only super cute, but they can also move their curious eyes independently from one another. They use this skill to scan their surroundings for potential predators and prey. 👀
With their curled tails, seahorses often anchor themselves to a blade of seagrass and gently sway with the reeds in perfect camouflage.🌱
Have you ever seen one?

Glitter Squids, or Bigfin Reef Squids, have chromatophores and iridophores which allow them to change colours reflect the light!! ✨👽
They can even change the patterns they display, to help them communicate with other squids.
These intelligence creatures are some of our favourite animals to encounter, especially on a night dive! 🦑✨🫶

Shrimp orchestra 🎶✨
Check out this Sarasvati Anemone Shrimp, named after the Hindu goddess of music, knowledge, flowing water, art, abundance and wealth. 👑
The Sarasvati Anemone Shrimp is a species of cleaner shrimp. They are typically found in small groups and live in anemones, with whom they share a symbiotic relationship with.
When a predator approaches, the shrimp retreats beneath the coral’s stinging tentacles. In return, they pay their rent by keeping the coral clean from parasites, algae and plankton.🪸
Not only do they clean their coral hosts, but they also wave their arms around to attract more customers! If a fish comes along to a cleaning station, these shrimp proceed to clean the creature’s mouths, gills, etc, feeding on the tiny organisms that may harm their hosts.

Writer and Undersea explorer Arthur C. Clarke once said, “How inappropriate to call this planet ‘Earth’ when it is quite clearly ‘Ocean’.”
We couldn’t agree more!!! 🫶
Happy Earth Day from our little friends down under!!! 🐠🌏
