Liveaboard & Spearfishing in Mexico with Neritic Diving
Last November I had the opportunity to go on a spearfishing expedition with Neritic Diving while staying on a liveabord in Baja California Sur.
What followed was just magical, epic views, blue water, tons of fish, fire sunsets and delicious food. I even got the chance to go spearfishing and swim with sea lions.
Read MoreBahamas Adventures - Diving with Sharks
In Valentine Thomas’ Ted Talk “Tomorrow, I could die” she asks what would you do if you faced a shark in the water? How would you react? Would you panic, would you remain calm or would you push your dive buddy in front of you?
That was the first time I faced a shark in the water while my friends were spearfishing and even though my life was never in real danger, I think I remained pretty calm. At least I didn’t push my buddy in front of the shark

World Ocean Day - 2021 Conservation Action Focus
Protecting at least 30% of our blue planet for a healthy ocean and climate
With your help and that of hundreds of other organizations worldwide, we will support and grow the global movement to protect at least 30% of our blue planet by 2030 (“30x30”). A healthy ocean is a critical part of the solution to the climate crisis. By supporting 30x30, we can protect our planet’s life support systems – specifically the interconnected issues of ocean, climate, and biodiversity.
Decisions about the future of our blue planet are being made this year by world leaders, and they need to hear from you! The actions that our leaders take (or fail to take) this year will determine the health of our blue planet and security of future generations for decades to come.
Together We Can!
Leading scientists worldwide have determined that we need to protect at least 30% of our blue planet by 2030. World Ocean Day joins with many organizations on this important initiative. By signing the petition you are telling world leaders that you want action too! Working together we can protect our blue planet home for all!

Bahamas Adventures - Caribbean Reef Sharks

There are few remaining frontiers on our planet... But perhaps the wildest, and least understood, are the world’s oceans: too big to police, and under no clear international authority, these immense regions of treacherous water play host to rampant criminality and exploitation.
