Hello! Was wondering if anyone could advise whether May/June on either coast of Mexico offered an optimal opportunity to see certain marine life? I think we've missed the window for sailfish bait ball off Isla Mujeres, and it's too early for sea lion pups in La Paz. Anyone have any advice...

Hello everyone, Well, it's a while since I've been here taking about diving. In fact, it's a while since I last talked about diving. I was least in the ocean around seven years ago, though I have done a fair bit of pool stuff (teaching seal club, to keep my skills from getting too rusty). I...

I tried my best to shoot inside the cenotes - El Pit & Dos Ojos. I shot this on a GoPro Hero 4 Silver - 1080P, 60fps, Auto White Balance. I'm thinking next time, I should turn off auto white balance. Would a higher or lower white balance setting be better to capture video in a low light environment?

Last weekend I traveled to Playa del Carmen to dive with Bull Sharks. They are only in season between December and March. I shot this footage on a Gopro Hero 4 Silver (1080P, 60fps, -1EV) and Backscatter filters. I left the ISO in auto and I get some flickering of color. I'm wondering if I...

Hello, We'll stay probably in PDC but I would like to dive in Cozumel too. Because of health reasons I'm limited to one dive a day, till 15m. What shallow dive site should I choose in Cozumel and is it worth the effort or it's better to dive shallow sites from Cancun/ PDC? I try to do a trip...

I'm writing this as my bag is half-packed and almost ready for the drive back to the airport after week of diving in Cabo Pulmo again. I'm not pleased about it but I gotta get back to the grind so I can come back! Since my last visit in January, a new system has been implemented to limit divers...
