Roosters and Dorado from Baja California

The famous diver Jacques Cousteau once famously referred to the Sea of Cortez as "the worlds aquarium". Located off of the barren deserts of Mexico's Baja peninsula it is alive with life of all sorts from whales and dolphins to all manner of gamefish both along the coasts and off-shore.
