Comments [None]The diving with sea lions is worth the trip. There were large schools of fish. There was some macro but this in not a macro trip. I did get to see a cormorant under water. There was no diving or snorkeling with dolphins or whale sharks. The night dive with mobula was not good. The dive sites are mostly 60-90 minutes so there is a lot of time on the boat. There was no rinse tank on the boat and no good area to work on camera gear. There was lunch on the boat as the boat stayed out for 2-3 dives. The food was good but requests were basically ignored. Drinks were on board with plenty of water and sodas but no diet soda and no hot drinks. Snacks were provided. Diet drinks were requested but ever appeared.
