Diving and Spear Fishing for a Fresh Ceviche Lunch in Puerto Vallarta

For the last decade I have been fortunate enough to live a dual life both in California and in Mexico.

For centuries, humanity has been awe in the ocean. It was a source of sustenance, a road for trade and for the discoveries of new worlds, the last frontier. If it's true that life began in the sea, then that does much to explain our ages-long love affair with the ocean. In older times, the sea was also a place of countless dangers, where sea monsters roamed the waters and the…
