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 […]

We got a chance to ask guests how their second day at Roca Partida was! Here are their responses! Divemaster Matt and one guest had a dive that we are more than jealous of! Wow! What an incredible day! Filling tanks and watching huge whales breach is pretty good, but then to add to it, I found […]

Today I went free diving and had an epic interaction with a manta.It was beautiful. We were dancing together. There were a fewdives I made where we were swimming directly toward each other, to thepoint of almost colliding, when she would swoop underneath me, make atight circle and come back for more attention. When I was on thesurface, she would […]

As I sent up my safety sausage, the dolphin turned around and started to make those dolphin cackling noises. as if to call all his friends to see the strange human with bubbles.

Today was dolphin day!!! Up until I had some to be apart of the crew on the Nautilus Explorer, I had never seen a dolphin on SCUBA. Yes I have seen them spinning in a wake or playing under the bow of a boat, but not underwater. On this contract we have had many occasions […]

I think our group has luck with the whales. We have seen them 4 times already! The most of anyone on the boat. I think that the ones we saw on the safety drop were different from the one today though. While snorkelling we saw one for a good 5-10 minutes. It was unbelievably big. Awesome! it seemed […]
