Latitude Encounters

Latitude is a place for explorers. For those of us who wish to see a different part of the planet,

The majority of our activities are snorkeling and no certification is required. We aim to make the ocean an accessible place for people no matter their background or physical capabilities. Join us to explore the ocean and help protect its magnificent wildlife.

Ocean sunfish 🌊

Mola mola, one of the heaviest bony fish in the world, might look slow and clumsy, but there’s much more to this unusual ocean giant.
They are active swimmers and can travel long distances and dive hundreds of meters deep in search of food.

They’re also famous for spending time near the surface, lying on their side, one of the behaviors that inspired the name “sunfish.” ☀️ This may also help them warm up after spending time in colder, deeper waters.

Definitely one of the strangest and most fascinating fish to encounter in the open ocean.

Seabirds are our best bait ball spotters 👀🪶
Gulls, pelicans and frigatebirds lead us to the action… and get their share of the feast too 🐟

Mag Bay season is getting closer and closer… and we can’t wait! 🌊

Have you been aboard one of these boats? 🌊

Rocinante and Marengo have taken us on countless hours at sea, searching, exploring and sharing some pretty special encounters along the way. 💙

Not on board yet? We might have to fix that 😉🚤

THE BIG 5 OF BAJA 🌊

These are five of the ocean giants we are lucky enough to encounter in Baja.
With a little luck, patience, and many hours at sea, we can cross paths with some true record holders:

🐋Blue whale — the largest baleen whale and the largest animal on Earth

🐳 S***m whale — the largest toothed whale
🫍Orca — the largest member of the dolphin family
🦈 Whale shark — the largest shark and the largest fish in the world.
⚡️ Giant oceanic manta (Mobula birostris) — the largest ray in the world

How many of Baja’s Big 5 have you seen?

Only a few months until we’re back in Mag Bay🐟💙

Built for speed, the striped marlin can reach speeds of up to 80 km/h (50 mph), making it one of the fastest fish in the ocean.

Off the coast of Magdalena Bay, striped marlin hunt through bait balls, creating spectacular feeding frenzies alongside sea lions, dolphins, seabirds, and more 🐋
The countdown to the wildest season has begun

Two years ago today, what started as an ordinary shark safari turned into one of the most extraordinary wildlife encounters we’ve ever witnessed.

We were in the water with around 50 silky sharks when an unexpected visitor arrived, an ORCA. We ended the shark swim and followed the pod for a while, watching them hunt a mobula ray from our drone. Once they seemed relaxed and socializing, we entered the water.

One adult was carrying what looked like a sunfish. Then, without warning, another orca shot up beneath us upside down at incredible speed, slamming into the fish. It literally exploded!

If you’ve joined us on a Latitude Encounters trip over the past two years, you’ve probably heard this story and seen the video!!

Now, Katy Ayres, together with our friend Erick Higuera and other collaborators, have now described this behaviour as “ram of fragment.”

This is one of several observations from our tours that has contributed to scientific research, reminding us how much there is still to learn about life in the ocean.

We’re incredibly proud of Katy and all her hard work.

Did you know?
The s***m whale is the largest toothed predator on Earth. It spends most of its life in the deep ocean, hunting squid in complete darkness 🦑 Using powerful echolocation clicks, it can navigate and locate prey more than 1,000 meters (3,300 ft) below the surface. S***m whales also live in close-knit family groups, forming strong social bonds that can last a lifetime.

Seeing s***m whales in the Sea of Cortez is always a privilege. Every encounter is unique and beautifully unpredictable💙

Before the day ends, let’s take a moment to celebrate World Sea Turtle Day 🐢

Did you know Mexico is home to 6 of the world’s 7 sea turtle species?
In the Gulf of California, the one we encounter most often is the olive ridley, known in Spanish as the tortuga golfina.

These ancient mariners have roamed our oceans for over a hundred million years and play a vital role in keeping marine ecosystems healthy.
Every encounter is a reminder of why protecting the oceans they call home matters so much 💚
