Photo Essay and Guide to Underwater Photography in Cabo San Lucas
As the bubbles race towards the surface it becomes quiet enough to hear the songs of the whales underwater, enchanting in the deep blue, and making it almost a pity to exhale my next breathe.

Only a short drive from Tucson, spring breaks were spent camping on the beach, drinking cheap beer, partying at JJ’s Cantina and eating great seafood. Later when I got PADI certified, I ventured further down the Sea of Cortez to San Carlos for my open water dives.
