Revillagigedo 2025 – Roca Partida: Hudge pregnant whale shark (Rhincodon typus)
CZ: Lokalita je jasná … úžasná Roca Partida, ale kolik je na fotce vlastně žraloků? Jeden, dva, tři … deset … dvacet … Kolik jich najdeš? Malá nápověda: whitetip a silvertip žraloci mají bílé konce ploutví.
EN: The divesite is obvious… the stunning Roca Partida. But how many sharks are actually in the photo? One, two, three… ten… twenty… How many can you find? A little hint: whitetip and silvertip sharks have white tips on their fins.
Striped Marlin / Kajikia audax
Mexico 2025 – Striped Marlin (Kajikia audax): Minulý týden jsme se vrátili z delší freedivingové „3-in-1“ expedice v Mexiku (1 Cenotes/Península de Yucatán, 2 Socorro/Revillagigedo a 3 MagBay/Baja California). Fotograficky i potápěčsky to bylo něco až neuvěřitelného. Pracovní týden mě vrátil do neúprosné reality, ale s jeho koncem si dovolím rychlé ohlédnutí alespoň jednou ilustrativní fotografii z poslední části naší výpravy. Během svátků se ponořím do složek plných záběrů z této „3-in-1“ akce.
Revillagigedo 2022 – Story
Known as the “Galápagos of Mexico” the Revillagigedo archipelago lies 500 kilometers south of Cabo San Lucas. Archipelago consists of four islands of volcanic origin: San Benedicto, Socorro, Roca Partida, and Clarion.
We were lucky and at the turn of March and April we visited 3 of them: San Benedicto, Socorro and the amazing Roaca Partida. This diving project, lasting more than three weeks, was so far the best I have ever experienced. From the first week of diving with blue sharks and sea lions near Cabo San Lucas, through amazing week of diving at Revillagigedo archipelago to the final week of diving in the Sea of Cortez with sea lions and an army of devil reys. The picture is worth a hundred words, so instead of the usual report, I only attach slightly commented photographs.
