Uwe made it out again with Vista Sea Sport for another mazing dive day! Once again a big thank you to Simon for all of his hard work. I was put in with a group of 4 divers, for the day, and fantastic divers they were!! We rolled in for dive one, and it really was a strange feeling for me. In 60ft of water, I could see the bottom clear as a bell from the boat, so there was not that feeling of dropping into the unknown.
As we made our decent down, we could see the sand littered with Sting Rays, and there was a school of what I would call Eagle Rays swimming around us, though I think here in the Sea of Cortez they are referred to as Bat Rays. The visibility was easily in the 100 – 150 ft mark, water temps were in the low 80′s. It was an amazing day out on the water!

UWE is very excited to announce that we have finally completed the repair to our down loads section of the web site. We have personally re-established each link to every file we have on our downloads server. If there is anything else you would like to see on the downloads section then let us know.
We would also like to announce we have added a new section the web site. We have added Dive Sites of Baja California Sur. Be sure to stop by and check out the various sites we have listed on there. Currently we have Cabo Pulmo, and as we get more time in the water, more of the sites will find their way onto the website!
UW Explorers was out diving yesterday with Vista Sea Sports of Buena Vista just a couple of minutes out of Los Barriles. I was picked up at the front gate of the RV Park by the boat captain for the days charter and brought into the Dive shop in order to get ready for the charter.
At the shop I met up with Simon, who quickly got everything that I would need together, weights, dunk tank, and made sure all of my paper work was in order. Once the boat was launched we headed off to pick up the other guests for the day. Anne, and Ken had dove with VSS before, by the way the briefings went, and that is when I found out that our day was going to be spent down in Cabo Pulmo’s Marine Park. (Read More)
Dive one was at “Little Rock” an excellent dive site, where we were treated to many many types of reef fish, I got to see a large snapper though it did not work out so well on the video…and my favorites the Puffer Fish/Porcupine Fish. I am not sure what it is that makes them so attractive to me…but if there was one, I saw 100 easily. Have you ever seen Puffer’s schooling? Well if you have not, then this is the place to come! I also lucked out and got three Moray Eel sightings, and 2 large lobsters.
Dive two was on the North reef, which was a drift dive. Though filming can be difficult while drifting, the speed on todays drift was just perfect. Once again we were treated to a Moray Eel sighting, which I was able to get some video time on. There was also a lot of schooling fish, puffers and Simon’s big find….two Sea Turtles.
All in all it was an excellent day out on the water. I want to thank Vista Sea Sports and Simon for a great day! If you are down in the Baja, and want to do some diving, then Vista Sea Sport is the place to be heading too!
