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

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. Video from this trip made it into our recent short film “The Embodiment of Hope.” Link in profile! #mexico #losislotes #islaespiritusanto #sealions #underwaterphotography #scubadiving #scuba #snorkeling #nature #natureconservancy #son #sonya9 @sonyalpha @nauticamhousings @cortezexpeditions @bonetiredmama

Isla Espiritu Santo, Mexico | Nov 2017 A great big bull come to check me out during a dive at the Los Islotes sea lion colony. As much as I like sea lions and think the juveniles are super cute - the males - territorial and with deep underwater barks are somewhat terrifying. #sealions #underwaterphotography #nature #islaespiritusanto #losislotes #scuba #scubadiving @sonyalpha @nauticamhousings @cortezexpeditions

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