What a fantastic day we had here in Laguna San Ignacio, which began with a wonderful sunrise and the friendly escort of dolphins swimming beside our ship’s bow. There was quite a bit of grey whale activity in this area! Some guests were even lucky enough to pet the more curious whales who surfaced near our boats. Memories were made here today!
Amy was raised near Cape Cod in coastal Marion, Massachusetts, and her relationship with the ocean and nature has always been an active one. Her parents, avid divers and marine biologists, introduced her to the underwater world when she was very young and she grew up participating in as many water-related activities as possible. Amy spent her summers sailing and exploring intertidal areas of Buzzards Bay. At age 12 she became a certified diver and is now a divemaster with the National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI). In high school her passion for nature and art developed into a love of photography, using the medium to share her explorations with others.
