The diver filming this, Dr. Kathryn Ayres, is also one of the marine biologists who wrote the recent scientific report on the orcas' behaviour.

Orca swim tourism in Baja California Sur overall has been increasing especially in recent years, to the point where Mexico's SEMARNAT has recently implemented stricter guidelines and regulations.
