WILDLIFE          SEA SAFARIS


The Sea of Cortez is one of the most biodiverse marine ecosystems in the world, and it's home to a wide variety of marine life, including coral reefs, dolphins, whales, mobula rays, and more. On our sea safari, you'll have the chance to see these amazing creatures in their natural habitat.

Our experienced guides will take you to the best spots to search for marine life, and they’ll teach you about the different species you encounter. You'll learn about their behavior and ecology, and you’ll gain a deeper understanding of this incredible marine ecosystem. You'll also have the opportunity to snorkel with some of the different species we encounter.

Whether you’re a seasoned naturalist or a first-time visitor, our Sea of Cortez sea safari is an unforgettable experience.

EMILY

Head Instructor of Salty Souls Freediving

Em is a a more fish than woman type of girl. Her salty days started in childhood, spent overturning rocks, discovering starfish, and engaging in lively races with hermit crabs. Starting off as a divemaster and underwater photographer inspired, Emily seeked to explore what it means to be an aquatic human, ditching the gear, and embracing the mental and physical journey of breath holding and freediving.  Eager to share the benefits of living with a blue mind Em found her calling in instructing and helping others realize their aquatic goals. If you find yourself diving with Em you’ll likely hear muffled snorkel screams of excitement and celebratory surface splashes when you get a personal best or dive achievement.
