Finally i am here. It was one of my dreams to work for a boat with such a good reputation like the Nautilus Explorer#Belle Amie. I have been waiting for their call for long time and now is the time to enjoy it. I have worked for few liveaboards before but the atmosphere here is […]

Dolphin frenzy at the Boiler this morning. After splashing in at 0800 with the sun rising around San Ben we dropped in on the usual manta residents of the Boiler. With 5 soaring in and clear 90 foot vis things were going the usual way that I have been used to until the spot light […]

Well, the pregnant manta that we have been observing at The Boiler since November has not been seen for the past two trips. A manta birth has never been seen in the wild and it looks like we may not get the chance to witness it. Hopefully when we shall see the young manta though! […]

Well, we may be getting used to the luxuries and challenges that come with our new vessel, the Nautilus Belle Amie, but the diving out at Socorro Island hasn’t changed. The Boiler produced once again as I dropped in with my group of 9 divers. Within 5 mins of our dive we had a pair […]

Now, as a hostess on board the Nautilus Explorer, there comes a point in the day where you have a break and the option is to dive or have a nap. Today, like most days, I chose to dive.

Now, as a hostess on board the Nautilus Explorer, there comes a point in the day where you have a break and the option is to dive or have a nap. Today, like most days, I chose to dive. Deckhand Hernan dropped me off the South Tip and I descended slowly, surrounded by small schools […]
