La Reina, La Paz, Sea of Cortez, Mexico

Post by NollyG »

¡Hola Todos!

I know this is not a dive trip report from the Great PNW, but I was not long ago, a cold water diver in that neck of the woods. And, as such, I feel I can still do a few dive reports, even though I now live in Mexico.

This video is from three dives I did last Saturday at a site down here called La Reina. It was my first time there, and my first time using some new 15,000 Lumen video lights! The site is just north of Isla Cerralvo, and loaded with schools of fish! Mexican goatfish, machetes, striped snapper, yellow snapper, creole fish, and on and on! Not to mention a somewhat intimidating male California sea lion, who was barking, and blowing bubbles at me underwater as he swam up. These are both signs of aggressive or territorial behavior, so I hid behind my camera, and just keep recording! Made for one of my favorite shots of the trip!

Anyway, hope you enjoy the video!
