Taking a break from the suck of the world right now. Yesterday the @nytimestravel ran a feature on my time with the colony of sea lions of Los Islotes, Mexico. Here is another from a recent trip. Instead of shooting in shallower waters, I dropped down to the seabed floor under the island’s eastern arch, laid down, and watched the sea lions play above me. @sonyalpha @luke_inman_photography @cortezexpeditions @bonetiredmama #sealion #losislotes #underwaterphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CCEM3oMlAoi/?igshid=14ajfcn1gd3x4

“Gobstopping light in the tunnel at Los Islotes as the sun reaches its zenith, rays getting cut by the rock and creating a magical scene from below,” writes Your Shot photographer Henley Spiers. “With the light so heartbreakingly beautiful, I just needed some subjects to add to the scene, and a couple of playful sea lion pups kindly obliged.” Photograph by Henley Spiers

The pup just wants to play. In the dark of Los Islotes, deep in a cave. #padi #scubadiving #sealion #losislotes #scuba #scubadiving

One more positive distracting image from all the horrifying world-wide news. On Monday the @nytimestravel ran a feature on my time with the colony of sea lions of Los Islotes, Mexico. Here is another from a past trip there. Instead of shooting in shallower waters, I dropped down to the seabed floor under the island’s eastern arch, laid down, and watched the sea lions play above me. @sonyalpha @luke_inman_photography @cortezexpeditions @bonetiredmama #sealion #losislotes #underwaterphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CCG6JTEFSD9/?igshid=ayum0x8e8cg7

Los Islotes, Mexico | Nov 2017 Sea Lions hover over me, Mateo close by behind me as we swim around the Los Islotes colony.

Los Islotes, Mexico | November 12, 2017 Regal Queen. I think. I still have trouble with sea lion gender identification. :) Finally back home and pro-resing all our footage.

Los Islotes, Mexico | November 12, 2017 A few curious sea lions play in a rock “nursery” at the Los Islotes colony. Weird day yesterday. Bull males were out in force, barking at every passerby who strayed too close to the island. Heading back home tomorrow to the cold Northeast. #mexico #travelphotography #sealion #seaofcortez #underwaterphotography #losislotes #espiritosanto #onassignment

Los Islotes, Mexico | October 19, 2017 A fresh sea lion pup hangs in an isolated rocky “nursery” at the Los Islotes colony. I just finished shooting these dogs of the sea with @luke_inman_photography and @cortezexpeditions in the Sea of Cortez. The small island of Los Islotes is a relatively isolated, predator-free, and hosts a colony of healthy and friendly sea lions. Recently born pups, just getting their “sea legs,” are incredibly playful this time of year. #sealions #losislotes #wildlife #seaofcortez #underwaterphotography #mexico

Los Islotes, Mexico | November 12, 2017 Big bulls out in force these last few days. Feisty.

Los Islotes, Mexico | November 11, 2017 Finally back home and pro-resing all our footage. Took a few days off for thanksgiving and family, and now back to these wrestling sea lions. This was shot in the right caves underneath the Los Islotes colony.
