Epinephelus analogus

I have seen many sea horses in the sea of Cortez while scuba diving. The habitat absolutely does exist in the northern Sea of Cortez. They are very difficult to find while diving. They blend in perftlyvwith the macro algae that they live amongst.

Gold spotted sand bass are in the same genus as Spotted Bay Bass, Calico Bass, Barred Sand Bass, Parrot Bass....basically members of the grouper family. http://www.mexican-fish.com/goldspotted-sand-bass/

We have been diving in the San Carlos area and there are lots of fish there but it is different. We see lots of small leopard groupers, panamic Graysbys, Flag Cabrilla, grunts and snappers. We do not see the giant schools of jacks that are in the lower SEa of Cortez. We see tons of Passer...

Watch this to get an idea of what it looks like underwater in the east cape area. There are bottom fish available but most fishing operations target the surface for pelagic species of game fish.

Sent you a message.

I am a PADI IDC STAFF INSTRUCTOR. I teach many levels of scuba. In addition to that, my wife and I recently took over a diving travel business.

We might have to go that. We go to San Carlos every year. Headed to Bonaire next month. Went diving in Oregon earlier this month and we were in Cozumel last month. My wife and I are running a trip with approx. 50 divers to Bonaire next July and hopefully doing a trip to Cabo Pulmo next October.

It's actually not a male rainbow wrasse but it is a wrasse. That's called a Spinster Wrasse. Very common in the northern sea of cortez. http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/184035/0

Awesome! Wish I was there!

Just a reminder that spear fishing on scuba is illegal in Mexican waters if someone actually had any ideas of such.

Those sharks actually look like Blacktip Sharks although a little blurry on my screen. Pretty common in the area. Definitely NOT Threshers.
