The Sea of Cortez is one of the most biodiverse seas on the planet. Jacques Cousteau called it "the aquarium of the world."

Every expedition you live with us is a real encounter with that wildlife — and a way to help protect it.

Our story

"The best ocean stories are never written. They are lived."

We started because we believe the ocean can change the way a person sees the world.

From a very young age I found in the sea a place where there was always something new to discover. That curiosity led me to study Marine Biology and, over time, I understood that knowing a species was not enough: what truly mattered was getting more people to fall in love with it.

Because nobody protects what they do not know.
