La Paz Photo Group Trip

Words and photos by Brent Durand


Baja California is a special place. A place where the still mornings and vibrant evenings contrast with unparalleled underwater experiences by day, drawing on memories of quotes from notables like Cousteau and Steinbeck.

Upon arrival in La Paz, you cant help but settle into Mexico time," going with the flow on land while singing through your regulator underwater. Sea lions, bait balls, whale sharks, dolphins, mobula rays and many other surprises await divers who venture to the Sea of Cortez. I keep going back. Will keep going back.




During Bluewater Photos small group photo trip to La Paz we experienced some incredible diving and snorkeling. Shooting sea lion photos was distracting because of all the cormorants and pelicans dive bombing into bait balls around us. When we started to swim back to the boat from whale sharks, another would appear, luring us back away from the boat to shoot more photos.


Thanks to all the new friends who joined this years trip. And heres to another great trip next year!
