must-visit diving destinations on the planet, only comparable to the Gal\u00e1pagos<\/strong> (in fact, the islands are also known as the “Mexican Gal\u00e1pagos” or the “Little Gal\u00e1pagos”) or Cocos Island, due to encounters with pelagic species and large marine animals.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Among them, we can find a wide variety of shark species<\/strong>, specifically up to seven:<\/p>\n\n- Hammerhead sharks<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Silky sharks<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Gal\u00e1pagos sharks<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Whitetip sharks<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Silvertip sharks<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Pacific Oceanic Whitetip sharks<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
- Tiger sharks<\/strong>, in addition to giant Pacific mantas (especially around San Benedicto Island, the best place in the world to interact with these animals), as well as humpback whales (from January to April) and dolphins.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
We cannot overlook the presence of whale sharks<\/strong> and large schools of jacks and tuna, as well as endemic species that can only be spotted in Revillagigedo.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is the Bait Ball?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nAs the saying goes: “Strength in numbers,” and the Bait Ball is no exception.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bait Ball occurs when small fish swarm in a tightly packed spherical formation around a common center.<\/strong> It is a last-resort defensive measure<\/strong> adopted by small schools of fish when they feel threatened by predators.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
