Latitude Encounters - Mexico
A day out with Latitude Encounters is guaranteed to be an adventure! That's why they call them Ocean Safaris. You get on the boat, hope for calm seas and maybe you'll get to cross off SEVERAL species from your bucket list!! I went out with them 3 times. I saw GROUPS of Humpbacks breaching and flapping their pectorals, swam with hundreds of Cownose Rays and at least 1000 Mobulas. Just watching the little Mobula Rays jump out of the water and belly flop back in is enough entertainment from the boat.
When we were chumming for sharks, I got the chance to chat to the owners, Fer and Mathias, and their guide Katy. They kept us entertained with a huge knowledge about the animals and region.
In June, I saw about 3 Silkies who stayed with us for a good hour. I know you can get more lucky and have 10-20 around the boat. In March, we attracted a Mako and, the most elegant of them all, a large female Blue Shark. Swimming by us for 40 minutes just arms length away!! Her body glittering in the sunbeams. Amazing!!
They have just gotten a new and really comfi and fast boat. I hope to be back onboard with them soon!!
