Cabo San Lucas, Baja Mexico!

Last week the family and I spent a week at the Cabo Surf hotel in Baja Mexico. The trip was fantastic! We has good swell so we caught lots of waves. April is the end of the whales breeding season, but I guess nobody told the whales because we saw whales all day everyday. Mothers and babies breaching and starting that long journey back to Alaska. The hotel is situated away from the main town, right on the beach in front of two awesome surf breaks, "Old Man's(Acapulquito)" and "The Rock. We had a very nice room and the food was spectacular. The staff was very friendly and made us feel right at home. This place rocks! I took one day to dive with Lands End Divers they were a pretty good outfit. The dive master Erik was very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to dive with. We ended up doing three dives: Pelican Rock, Sand Falls, and Lands End. We saw an enormous variety of wildlife including sea lions, lots of different species of eels, sting rays, large grouper, massive schools of fish, several guitar fish, huge puffer fish, too many species to name. The dives started in sand flats with very nice reef and rock formations, then lead to a very deep wall that disappeared vertically into the abyss. I really enjoyed diving the Sea of Cortez. It truly is a special place. Check out the videos and pictures below. Put this place on your list of places to go. You won't be disappointed!
