Socorro reviews, 23 March 2020Our second time here in the Revillagigedo Archipelago and definitely not our last!! Each trip is unique and special and different – with different experiences at each island. As a special treat, we were able to see humpbacks and false killer whales on this trip. And, of course, there were sharks everywhere. But, the highlight for me was today at the Boiler – when a female mobula birostris spent the entire dive eyeing my buddies and I.Kimberly, USA -

Socorro reviews, 22 March 2020Never have I encountered such friendly mantas! Just got up from the last dive of the trip, and I have to say that without the delicious meals we would never have made it to the end. Shout out to the chef! The whole crew has been very welcoming and knowledgable, and has facilitated some of the best dives.Matt, Roy and Sam – Alaska -

Socorro reviews, 21 March 2020Starting off with a small school of Hammerheads passing by closely and followed by many playful and huge Manta rays the day was a full success. Accompanied by the best crew, divemasters and very delicious food we ended the day all happy, looking forward to all the pleasures that await us tomorrow.Noemi, Germany -

Socorro reviews, 19 March 2020The expectations were very high because we have been watching many videos from this trip and in these videos everybody was talking about Roca Partida is on fire. Well… Now we are here and the only thing I can say is that Roca Partida IS on fire baby ;o) Live to dive, dive for life,Johan, Belgium -

Socorro reviews, 18 March 2020I always say; The less you expect, the more you get. In this case you better expect at least a white tip shark because otherwise it will blow your mind. For me it has been a dream to come here for the last 5 years and I am sure I will be back. Great crew, great boat and the best dives ever. Go with the flow.Jonas, Belgium

WE SAVE LIVES!! The story of the Nautilus LifeLine.
Since scuba diving and snorkeling has become popular with tourists, boats have lost track of divers time and again. Divers depend on boats and their crews for access to offshore dive sites, but often, they willingly entrust their lives to operators whose attitude to safety may not stand up to scrutiny.

Why I put my 5 and 7 year old kids in the water with Great White Sharks.
I love my kids. So what the heck was I thinking in 2005 when I put my 5 and 7 year old children in the water with great white sharks at Guadalupe Island?
