FEBRUARY 2022 SPEAKER – HANNES KLOSTERMANN

BEST OF BAJA - EXPLORING THE WILD WEST

With Hannes Klostermann

Baja is a special place. Separating the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean,
the Baja California Peninsula is home to amazing landscapes and incredible wildlife.

Due to its unique location, it hosts some of the most impressive animal migrations on the planet, as well as plenty of photogenic residents. In this talk I will introduce you to some of the most exciting animals of the area and explain how to maximize your chances of seeing and interacting with them. From cute baby sea lions to the ocean’s largest predators, there’s always something interesting to discover and you never quite know what you’ll come across when you head out in the morning!

Hannes is an award-winning underwater photographer and scuba instructor with a particular passion for capturing images of sharks and other big animals, as well as actively supporting their conservation.

He is currently the resident photographer at The Cortez Club in La Paz, Mexico where he offers all services related to underwater photography: workshops and private guiding, as well as photo shoots. He also runs pelagic expeditions for the annual marlin migration.

Hannes began his underwater adventures in 2003 in a dark and very cold lake in Germany and since then, his travels have taken him to many of the world’s most exiting diving destinations.
