What did your first Socorro giant manta ray encounter feel like??

  Best manta diving I have ever had!  You can literally wave them over to you and they can’t resist their curiosity of you.  At least six mantas that are as interested in you as you are in them – great day of diving!- Ben   Dancing With The Stars (hit TV show) has nothing […]

THE DIVE OF MY LIFE. PREVIOUSLY TO MY TRIP I CHECKED THE WEBPAGE OF THE NAUTILUS EXPLORER AND OF COURSE I CAME ACROSS THE VIDEO “ONE DAY AT ROCA PARTIDA”. IT JUST LOOKED PERFECT BUT IT WAS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN REALLY SEE THAT MUCH MARINE LIFE WITHIN ONLY ONE DAY. I COULD NOT IMAGE IN MY WILDEST DREAMS THAT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WOULD WAIT FOR ME…

FOUR DIVES THAT DAY WOULD CHANGE MY DIVER’S LIFE FOREVER: IT STARTED WITH 4 DOLPHINS DURING OUR DESCENT STAYING WITH US FOR 4 MINUTES EYE TO EYE CHECKING OUT THE NEW GUESTS ON THE ROCK. TONS OF MARINE LIFE, WHITE TIPS EVERYWHERE, SILKIES, SILVER TIPS, TUNAS, JACKS AND TWO MANTAS SURROUNDING US DURING OUR SAFETY […]
