One of the highlights of our trip was whale watching off of Punta de Mita. In a small boat with family friends we found a mother and baby who put on a 15 minute show playing in the water. At one point the mother rolled onto her back and started hitting the water with her flippers. Her baby kept jumping around her until finally it too rolled over and imitated it's mother. Our boat operator said that the mother was teaching her baby a defense technique and once the baby had learned they calmly headed off to deeper waters and we made our way home.
