There are also a wealth of other activities catering to every taste, from kayaking trips to whale watching (think: sperm, finback and blue whales, as well as pods of thousands of dolphins), learning to scuba dive and so much more.įrom Cabo, it’s a quick flight to Tijuana where we will transfer you to our hospitality suite in Ensenada where you can check-in for your voyage to Guadalupe. Using airplane support, we can take you out on our super pangas to track, and hopefully get in the water with pods of orcas and, of course, thousands of mobula rays. And where there are mobulas, there will likely be pods of orcas.
July is peak mobula season in the Sea of Cortez, where tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of mobulas congregate in enormous schools.

Humans are more on their devices and less in touch with nature than ever - so we need to bring nature to their devices.įollow The Beacons Collective on Facebook and Instagram. Regardless of the reason though, it became clear to me that nature needs more people to document its beauty and majesty. Hopefully it’s because these animals are rebounding, but 2019 and the years to come should provide more clarity. The Nautilus crew was incredible as always and, in the end, we don’t know why sharks are there in unprecedented numbers. During November and December, we have seen several White Shark pregnant females like DEEP BLUE in Guadalupe Island feeding on seals, satisfying their needs to feed their pups. She moves much slower than the other sharks, likely because of her enormity, and was a joy to film. DEEP BLUE has been spared from longlines and the inherent dangers of being in the wild, and somehow she has found her way in the vast ocean. She stayed with us for the rest of the trip, through the third day. Tara Dodrill Deep Blue is a massive great white shark that was found off Guadalupe Island. We knew it was her immediately because of her infamous ragged tail, which is likely either a birth defect or due to some sort of incident in her youth. Our second day began like the first, but then a giant emerged from the depths -Lucy. I also had several Paralenz dive cameras with me to capture behind-the-scenes shots as well as varying perspectives. Their waterproof rugged bundle is a must for divers.
My new drone, the Autel EVO, also allowed me to shoot 4K 60fps, which in turn allowed me to slow the footage down by 50 percent to extend the drama of the aerial shots. On the first day we saw eight sharks in total - the action was awesome and sometimes non-stop. In 2017, we saw six sharks on the entire trip, but I’d heard reports of 12 sharks in one dive earlier in the 2018 season, so I was excited. The mission? Document the unprecedented level of great white shark activity going on at Guadalupe Island, around 180 miles off the coast of Ensenada, Mexico. Biologist Mauricio Hoyos Padilla posted a Facebook video of what he claims is the biggest great white shark ever filmed: An approximately 20-foot (6-meter) long female dubbed Deep Blue.

Thanks to a series of short films about sharks, I’ve gained a reputation as “one of the shark guys.” Because of a film about great white, I found myself as a guest on the Nautilus Explorer. That’s what happened to me in October 2018. Every once in a while, it feels like the universe drops a gift in your lap.
