- This is Episode 1 of my Sea of Cortez Adventure Series. During my Sea of Cortez Photo Expedition in May 2023 we encountered so much sea life that I'm making a full series about it.
If you'd like to join me next year for my Sea of Cortez Photography Immersion please visit the link below. This encounter was just one of several we were fortunate enough to experience.

There is always something so relaxing and peaceful about these videos. Thanks again for this beautiful video.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
Spectacular! I love your channel because you are so conscientious about respecting wildlife. I don't have to worry about seeing people harassing animals just to get a post for social media. The sea lions with the fish were really neat - I guess it is safer for the prey to stay as close as possible to the predator in that situation! Thank you for sharing this adventure with us - it has been a long time since I was down there - you used to have to drive!
You're so talented. I enjoy living vicariously through you! Stay blessed!!! ❤
I'm so happy for you getting to experience this and thanks for sharing it with us! Your voice is calming and your videos are beautiful to watch. You're truly a gem on UA-cam ❤
Your professional, honest, true encounter with nature is a class of documentary all of it's own! You don't need peer reviews or accredited publishings. Build your Brand! Your work speaks for itself. I'm a huge fan. Mixing with mainstream will ultimately end with using your footage to push political agendas. You can make your films and feature them at little theaters & showings! One of a kind as always! Love the behind the scenes pov. 💖
Amazingly beautiful footage
I’m 3 minutes in and already full of goosebumps for this adventure! Your by far my favorite content creator on you tube. Fabulous Carlos ❤
Yay! Thank you!
We love your serene and relaxing videos featuring ocean life

Gorgeous whale shark. Excellent footage. Thanks again for your hard work.
Much appreciated!
Beautiful…thanks for sharing.
Beautiful
I can't wait to see more. This channel may be the most underappreciated on youtube
Wow!!!! What an incredible adventure!
Fantastic! As always. 😀 Looking forward for the next episode.
love the start to this one.
Your content and videos are truly unbelievable. I spend every Saturday and Sunday watching your videos. There is something so soothing and allows me to put things in perspective before the next work week. Truly amazing and unbelievable, love the commentary!! @TheMalibuArtist
What a beautiful shark. I bet swimming with that shark was a lot of fun.🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
It was incredible
The drone gives us a whole new view of ocean life 👍
Sir you are living the dream that many dream of. Kudos to you and yours. Keep up the good work.
I swam with these gentle giants north of the Yucatan peninsula. It was the most humbling and amazing experience in my life. Marine life is beautiful and we should do our best to protect it.
Thanks for taking us along 🐬🦈
I have never seen footage of a ray jumping out of the water before. It's only from above that shows how extraordinary the length of the jump was too. And to see it flap the tips while airborne...I'm just in awe. The whole thing was spectacular but that was the bit that got me the most. Fabulous.
I used to live on the east coat down south and had a lot of baby sharks swim near me at the beach. They would swim head first into my leg because they couldn't see through the sandy water. It was kinda cute.
WOW I really enjoyed yr video & will share it on FB!! So happy u got to swim with the whale shark🥰🎉
Mindblowing! Can’t wait to see the next video. 💙
My goodness, what a beauty! Thank you for this wonderful, magical footage.😳🥰It's so special.💙
A wonderful video👍👍👍👍
Many thanks
I enjoy all of your videos Carlos , I'm loving the Sea of Cortez stuff in particular . I dived with a whale shark many years ago off the coast of North Queensland , we were out tuna fishing and had literally a mile of water beneath the keel . While drifting , the shark would come up to the boat and circle around then dive into the deep out of sight , then come up again and repeat , for over an hour . I actually held the tail multiple times for a slow ride , gently left and right , the shark seemed to not mind at all .
Thanks for what you do 🙂
looks like an awesome trip
It was! Thanks!
Wow beautiful footage and educational 👏❤️
Thank you kindly
Amazing, just amazing!!! I love your films
Gorgeous surroundings and even better wildlife! Love the whale shark shots just sublime!
Many thanks!
@TheMalibuArtist No! Thank you for bringing this into my life! Can't wait for the next parts to the series!
Wow 😮 what magical morning!
Thanks for creating and sharing your passion of exploring the ocean!
Beautiful! The only thing that would've made it better would've been seeing someone swimming in an area near the shark to give us perspective. I love your videos! I watch them every day. They're wonderfully relaxing while informing.
Such amazing footage!❤
Those dolphins are my favorite part.
Very cool video love drone
wow what shots
I have seen a whale shark in person and it is the most incredible thing, nothing explains the feeling of seeing a beautiful animal like that, Thank you so much for sharing!
What an amazing trip!!!
It reminds me of the times I used to go to the channel islands.
it did show up in my feed and I watched it in my big screen like I do whenever u post. The chores are done for the day and I can just relax and happily watch your video posts! we love watching them as a family.
Thanks so much!
I'm just starting to watch, but what an incredibly beautiful place. I'm in Virginia on the Atlantic ocean. And I plan on making my way out there in the near year or 2. I love your videos as always. Thanks again for all you do for us. And for the ocean and the people you are in contact with. I've been offshore fishing for 40 years and I've seen some incredible things out there that I can never show like you can now with the drones and cameras.
Oh my Gosh!!! How beautiful! From those of us in Texas, sweltering indoors from the heat, this is magnificent!
I love your videos! Much respect to you and the work you do!
This was amazing! And all of that...in ONE DAY? Unbelievably beautiful...
spectacular! stoked to see your face for the first time!
Thank you!
Absolutely amazing!!!! Love whale sharks! I can’t even begin to imagine how incredible that experience was! Thank you for sharing!
Omg! So beautiful! It brought tears to my eyes! ❤❤❤
Great video! Looking forward to seeing some white sharks. Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely LOVE your video's! I have always been fascinated with sharks, whales and dolphins! From afar of course. Your video's bring them up close and personal! Thank you so much!
Wundervolle Aufnahmen! Ganz große Klasse! Danke dafür!👍👍🐳🐬🐟🌅
What a dream safari! All of it! Wow. I have watch this again now! Fantastic footage, and glas to hear you left the camera and too a dive to fully ecperience tgmhe moment of magic with the fish! ❤

Wow, I felt so touched hearing about the scene where you left the camera behind!
Super nice video. The top of the shark's tail was missing. Did you notice?
Can't wait for the next episode.
Thank you!
Thanks! Great pictures.
I literally teared up this is so beautiful
Just breathtaking ❤
Hallo Carlos, habe gerade Feierabend und habe mir dieses Video über die Meresbewohner angeschaut. Entspannung und es scheint eine gute Zeit gewesen zu sein. Freue mich schon auf die nächsten Videos. Deutschland Schleswig-Holstein. 😊
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much. You just made my day!
Wow! What an amazingly beautiful and heavenly experience you were able to have with some of God’s beloved creatures! Something I could only dream to do, but thanks to you I can have some appreciation of what you saw and felt. Even just to swim with dolphins (my favorite animal) would make my dreams come true. Thank you for sharing this with me/us! I can’t wait to see more! 🥰😄💙🐬🫶🏼
Wow, you need your own Netflix series, a great documentary 😊
Beautiful footage. What a magnificent creature that, I think, whale shark is. ❤
This is awesome can't wait to see more of these!
More to come!
My family & I did this!!!
It seems slow but when in the water it’s hard to keep up!
I love your videos, they are amazing🤩. Greetings from Poland ❤️
years ago, as a kid I was snorkeling off the coast east coast of Vancouver Island, and I had a sixgill come up under me, it was the biggest creature I had ever seen, it had to have been at least 20 ft long
Amazing 💞🕉💞
DemonDjinn❤❤☺
I have a sperm will dorsal fan from 1979. That was from a handthrown harpoon in that Tonga islands. This was given to me as a young man from a famousailor around the world who is still a part of my family. It's about 3 feet long and the smallest bone in the whale's body. Of course, these days I would never accept anything like that. But this is a part of history and it is very interesting. I've had it for over 40 years. I think what you do in the video you capture is absolutely the best of the best, and I share all of your videos? If we don't protect our oceans, we are gonna be going right with them.
Zoologist here. House on Martha's Vineyard. This is mind candy
Awesome. I'd love to see that area. Lots of sharks. I've only been to mainland Cape Cod.
@TheMalibuArtist extremely different from Cape Cod
We have very few seals.
At least where I am on South Beach
One of the really interesting things about where I am they cut a channel from the 800 acre "pond" [Fishing people call up down .. currents]
The tide changes [wow new info!] We get cold running into pond then warm out
Nothing like when blue fish churn the water. Following prey..then..things Following blue fish.
I know we had a shark in the deep channel once. And sometimes huge ones bask on an outer sand bank seeming shallow but then..
I've only experienced sand sharks. Which are better than stepping on a Portuguese Man O war
I did get this notification and have watched it. Wow, amazing, what a beautiful, majestic animal. Have you heard any more about the closure of Guadelope for shark dives? I'm so concerned that great whites might be at serious risk from the finning industry, as they are only allowing commercial boats. Do you have any more news?
I THINK WE GOING TO TO NEED A BIGGER BOAT LOL 😂❤ MUCH LOVE FROM CHESTERFIELD DERBYSHIRE ENGLAND ❤️👍
Came back to leave a comment for that algorithm
what camera/lens do you use for underwater shots?
4:35 shark
HI, no notice for me. Melbourne Australia
While the dolphins are so near to the boat, are they aware that the back of the boat (propeller) is dangerous?
Another great video, btw!!! Thank you!
🐳👍🏊♂️🏊♀️🏊🐋👌
Will you please explain to a complete novice what equipment you use? What is that that you use to view the drone live action and video please?
Shorkie shorkie
I love ❤️ Florida but I can afford western cost of America 1👍❤️
I'm interested in doing this same thing but i can't fly a drone for nothing i spent 600 on one and crashed it in to a tree within my first 2 minutes
👍🫡✊️
You should be careful. Those dolphins look a lot more like sharks. Probably even whale sharks.
Whoever said “Oh no! more dolphins!?” Is an ungrateful jerk! Damn! I wish I could go see 🐬 dolphins! Let alone ANY beautiful sea life while out on a yacht! Must be nice! Ppl who are super privileged always have to make piss ant remarks. I truly hope she knows how very special those dolphins, along with the gray whales, great white sharks, sea lions, the insanely awesome whale shark(s) are and how rare it can be to see them while out on a boat tour that probably and more than likely aggravates the sea life due to tourism and MONEY! Do people ever leave sea life alone?! I hate to see all of these beauties get so comfortable with humans when the human is it’s worst enemy in trapping, fishing & killing for profit or just because.
Nope. Didn't show up in my feed.
It appears that female whale shark is also pregnant!
Bruh, i’ve been watching nature and sea life videos since Jacques Cousteau was putting them out on the regular, and I’ve never seen bait fish using the sea lion as protection before. I don’t think that’s ever been on video before.
Regarding the whale shark, have you been able to determine how large she was?
Very sad, harassing these animals
