In this last episode of our Socorro series we feel that we just have to mention every animal that you could possibly see on a trip to this divers dream of a destination. Even if the mantas, dolphins and sharks weren’t there – this place would still rank above many others for it’s diversity and abundance of marine life.

Sharks – no diving trip is complete without them. Luckily the Socorro Islands are home to a great variety and abundance of these ancients members of the group elasmobranch fish. Nautilus Liveaboards is excited to present them to you one by one….

The Socorro islands are home to the possibly friendliest bottenose dolphin population on earth. In this video we explain you what it exactly is that sets this highly curious and social mamal apart from it’s cousins elsewhere in the world. After you have experienced a typical Socorro dolphin encounter you will understand why we love these animals so much….

Every story of success has this one defining factor, the stepping stone it leaped off. The fame of the Socorro Islands is almost entirely owed to the giant Pacific manta ray. It’s elegance, size and especially it’s unusually friendly behavior towards humans made it stand out from the very beginning. Let us invite you to some magic moments with the main actor of the miracolous Socorro orchestra!

Everyone around the globe is facing difficult times right now. The future seems uncertain at this point. However, what is for sure is that one day this crisis will come to an end. And when it does, we at Nautilus Liveaboards will be more than prepared and ready to take you guys out again to be reunited with our beloved marine friends. Be patient and stay tuned for more content to come in the meantime…

Your elegance, how you move, the love you show to your own kind, how curious and playful you are… your cuteness and personality made me fall in love with you since the very first moment I met you. California sea lions will bring you encounters you will never forget.
