Daily JournalNarval Expeditions
|
 The divers geared up and excited for their first "Sea of Cortez" dive.  One of the two divemasters, Carlos, gives the divers a talk on the first dive spot.  It even caught the attention of the non-divers who were captured by what the group could encounter on their first dive. |
 The second divemaster, Favrisio. (Don't get me wrong but... if I had known... I would have taken up diving... nuts!!!!)  Simon and his dad Patrick.  The crew and divemasters prep the pangas with the gear. |
 The divers are geared up and head out to the dive site.  This is Beth who shot the following pictures. |
 Barberfish.  Pincushion Seastar.  The venomous Stonefish.  Shark infested waters will keep you on your toes... just kidding. But he does seem preoccupied. |
 Crown of Thorns Seastar.  Meanwhile on shore, the non-divers encounter all sorts of cool dead stuff. The skeleton of a Balloonfish. 
 Carol comes across the vertebrae column and skull of a dolphin. |
 Dead Mako shark.  After wrestling with the shark Donald finally gets a handle on it!  After the beach combing we hit the hills further exploring the flora and fauna. |
 Once the divers and shore team return a little R&R is spent on the bow.  As we were underway a small pod of Bottlenosed dolphins swim past and stop for a moment to hang with the boat.  They came up alongside of the boat.  You could almost reach out and touch them. |
 As we motored along in the Narval we took a side excursion in the pangas to visit a couple of caves. |
 A conglomerate mixture of volcanic ash and rocks. |
