For a new-ish diver, it was beyond surreal! Epic recall points: The bull shark I camera followed away from the camo of the small school of fish, only to realize a shark took shape directly towards me THROUGH the same school. Around 10:25, I saw our guide turn, viewing my 6, I follow his direction to find one of the largest bull sharks coming directly at me and possibly one of the closest to me. (That one sent a chill). Last, swimming through the shark congregation to an area where we began our ascent, and waiting our three minutes @15' before surfacing. The guide had us watching a couple sharks below that followed though stayed on the bottom. Haha! One of the most "oh snap!" moments was the surprise find of two bull sharks while snorkeling where the sea lions were all on the rocks! Haha! Guide had us routed back to the boat pretty quickly. One note though, only one incident of shark involvement in the area from 2008 and that incident is not confirmed as caused by sharks. Considering all the diving in and around the area over YEARS of divers, it's still an intense sensation! Haha!
Thanks! Cabo Pulmo is an EPIC location! I most enjoy no hotels, crowds, it's simply off the beaten path - solar power and local GREAT food! It was a great dive with the Manta Rays off Kona, Hawaii with the two of you! I should have a qucik something or other video for our dive shortly. Arrived home yesterday. Today spent weeding through all the videos. Best to you and yours!
Ouch... crummy spelling - apologies. :) Haha! You get the idea. Hope our paths cross again sometime. Cabo Pulmo - Been there three times now... Will return! It is that great! No hotels, crowds, etc. all off grid. Solar power. Great guides, captains, food, service - All around great time. Touch base if you're interested - We'll set a plan. It, (IMO) holds the BEST value for the money.
