Off the coast of the Baja Peninsula in Mexico, a rare event takes place: thousands of striped marlins aggregate in search of their next meal.

Only recently visited by divers, this area is incredibly abundant with countless pelagic species. In previous years, we have swam with marlins, sea lions, mobula rays, humpback whales, orcas, turtles, and even the elusive blue whale — all in one season!

The trip begins in La Paz, where we take a private shuttle 3-4 hr north to a remote fishing community. It is here that we will be based for the following week. Small groups maximize our chances of encountering and interacting with wildlife, as anything can happen in this pelagic playground.
