Very kool !!!!!!!!!


Hello, Hola, ......
Well this week was sure exiting, we were diving at nite time!!
So we fixed our dive gear, dive lights,and we waited till dark time and we jump off the boat, and inmediately we turn on our Under Water Lights to check the coral reef at nite, we found parrot fish, trigger fish, all kinds of star fish and the most impressive was the cup corals, this type of coral lives on the reef, under the leadges or caves, you can only see it at nite time or during the day, but only when there is a lot of plankton, they love to feed on organic food,they call it cup because it looks like one of them and the coral its like a sunflower with long orange tennacles, these tennacles work like the hands and the mouth for the coral, because they catch all the organic food. Everything at nite time its more colorfull, and some of the fish are sleeping, and some are active like the Panamic Moray Eels, Lobsters, and the Sea Cucumbers.

Cabo Pulmo Marine Park Report by Pepe’s Foundation
This week I have to call the Environmental Deparment due to the amount of commercial fisherman at los Frailes Bay, we need to control them otherwise they can fish out the Park.
Also the 25th of October it’s the environmental week from our country.
I will keep you post !!!

Until next time !!!

Your Dive Buddy
