Hola,
I'm sure most of you don't have a clue who I am, but the few of you who do, know that I recently started a new job in La Paz, Mexico. I'm working for a company called Ocean Farm Technologies as a diver/technician, as part of product development here in the Sea of Cortez.
Anyway, two days ago I was working away on my dive, when I turned to see a whale shark slowly swimming by. That was my first ever whale shark sighting, and needless to say, I was blown away! The shark cruised out of sight, and I went back to work. I finished up the dive and surfaced to see all the guys on the crew snorkeling around instead of working. Turns out the shark was just cruising around our work site, and everybody had their go pro's in the water. I threw on my snorkeling gear and hung out with the shark for a good 30 mins. Amazing day! Especially considering the next day I came up from a dive to find 6 ft. seas!
Anyway, I'm not the guy in the photo, but I swear I was there!
Hasta luego!

Way cool!
I really liked La Paz when I was hanging around the East Cape area. Send me a PM if you want some ideas for day trips or weekends in the area.

I absolutely will! So far on my bucket list is to dive as much as I can here in La Paz, although everyone keeps telling me that the water is going to start getting cold and the visibility is going to get bad (little do they know I'm from the Pacific Northwest...they don't know cold and bad viz), Cabo Pulmo (a MUST!!!), and Loreto.renoun wrote:Way cool!

As for none diving sights, I'm going to try and get to Todos Santos and the Pacific coast soon, including seeing the gray whales in a few months when they start to show up. I'd really like to get out and explore the Sierra de la Laguna (I hear if you go high enough in the mountains there are actual trees!), and take up paddle boarding or something.
Hasta pronto
