We will be diving out of La Paz into the Sea of Cortez August 5th - 12th. This is a collaboration from ProTec Advanced Training Facility with me and the Cortez Club with Luke Inman who will be giving lectures about his participation in the Hammerhead tagging program.

Matt - is this is a commcercial trip?

As we like a level playing field - if its commercial say it is and cough up to support RBW.......or is this for the benefit of our members with absolutely no extra charges and they just get the benefit of you guys

I haven't been there in a number of years, but I dived with the Cortez Club numerous times in the late 1990s and always found it to be an oustanding location with good staff, boats and equipment. La Paz itself is a delightful city.

The El Bajo seamount was an astonishing dive - 3 pinnacles covered with life(more Moray eels than I have seen anywhere) and schooling Hammerheads - at the time I very much wished that I had a rebreather! Cerralvo Island and the La Reina/La Reinita seamounts are also great for photographing Mantas.

My wife and I took our son there for a week of diving to celebrate his 21st birthday - we saw everything from tiny seahorses to Blue Whales and virtually everything in between. A rebreather would allow me to get a LOT closer than I could back then with OC. I'd love to go back if I could to find out if it's as good as my memory tells me it is!

this is not an comercial trip. We try to organize SCR and CCR friendly or only trips in various locatins. You will se that more often from us promoting weeks in various locations. I will be on the trips but I have nothing to do with the boat rental or dive shop involved..
