Once again the team of H2O EXPEDITION offers you an exceptional, exclusive and unpublished voyage "to swim among the sailfish and bulldog sharks" in Mexico.
Group of 6 divers and 1 guide from the H2O Voyage team - 5 day outing day with sailfish veiling (snorkeling), 1 day dive with sharks bulldog and 1 dive day Cenotes
From 3 to 12 February 2012 (Paris / Paris)
It is in the warm and clear waters of the Caribbean, north of Cancun, that we invite you to participate in one of the most extraordinary underwater encounters that can be seen.
Off Isla Mujeres (the island of women) we have an appointment with an exceptional and rare event where sailfish, usually solitary, come together for a breathtaking hunt. In groups, these predators at astonishing speed, assemble a compact ball of sardines under the surface, for an extraordinary banquet. Imagine this elegant and impressive fish, by dozen, extending and retracting their majestic veil, turning, veering and knocking out this curée of sardines with their rostrums before quietly feasting on it. If you add to that the deafening noise of hundreds of birds plunging continuously on this improvised pantry, it is without a doubt, the guarantee of an unforgettable spectacle!
In the second part of the trip, our partner for this expedition "Phocea Mexico", will make us dive in Playa Del Carmen in the company of impressive bulldog sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) and in a cenote (freshwater reserve of the Mayas), natural wells where mix fresh water and sea water in an underground maze, for a fairyland of lights and backlighting.
The boat that will welcome us during the Swordfish sailboat outings (capacity of 15 people) is reserved for our small group of 7 divers. This in order to have enough space for the photo equipment, for our comfort and to make the most of it, the time at sea is not limited.

On all the dangerous cones the colonus geographicus erquires not only a great prudence but also the distance in its handling.
He is extremely lively !! (for a snail) and it is dangerous at less than 40cm which is its range.
if you grab it with a utensil, you bring it back to the boat to cook it (essential) and it takes two. One who does not take his eyes off him and another who drives the zodiac or the vehicle
The shells are nocturnal or very early for latecomers
The sailfish, the sail-fish, the marlin, I met them in February 1954 at the Islands Very Maras in the Sea of Cortes, the Gulf of California.
With André Galerne we went to film the life of shrimps, the first divers in this region
What an epic with our poor means, but also what passion
The old scaf '
@ Gérard Loridon: Please tell us what happened next, the trip, where did you go, how long you stayed, the authorizations, the means on board, the boat, the nice meetings, the galleys, the dives, your impressions ... a long post, now that you have written the beginning ...!
Go GEGE !!! Go GEGE !!! Alleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez !!!
It was a great moment, I was 20
We left Orly on a propeller-driven Air France super DC 6
In Mexico, we cost a Dakota to go to Mazatlan ...
We embarked on the Guaymense a refrigerator ship
We had to make a movie about shrimps (camarones) for the fisheries including the Refrigerado de la Noroeste.
I wrote a lot of it in the book published by Scaph'50 “Scaphandriers II” under the title “Adventures in Mexico”.
It lasted a month
We ended up for 10 days on a desert island, where we ate lobster and peroquets (it's like pigeon)
Before we had been filmed the sea lions on the islet of Topolobampo, they had never seen a diver
And the liches that circled around us in the bay of Ténacatita…
As for the groupers, they had to be removed ...
We dipped with foam rubber suits, flat-bottomed aluminum bottoms and CG 45 regulators.
We have brought 16 mm film with a H16 paillard into a box of our manufacture
Photos made with a Robot in a Coctte minute box of our friend Robert Diot.
Go dive to Mazatlan, there must be clubs now.
Memories of the old scaf '
Big thank you Gérard! I'm going to find your book and go read the wonders that are in it: the liches, the sea lions and that you were pushing the groupers…!
