COVER STORY

This image was photographed at the famous dive site, Cabo Pearce on Socorro Island of the Revillagigedo Archipelago, Mexico. The site is renowned for its incredibly curious bottlenose dolphins that frequent the area among many other large marine species. The dolphin pictured first caught my attention at approximately 15 metres depth before luring me down to deeper water with a variety of playful and acrobatic manoeuvres – An unbelievable moment I won’t soon forget.
