We had the most amazing snorkel with the Giant Mantas today. There were about five or six of them about 50 metres from the boat when we came up from our first dive. So we got back into the water to go and see them. Truly spectacular! They just circled and circled around us whilst […]

A pod of dolphins just swam around us. I'm talking 3 – 4 feet away and I counted 10 different animals all do the same thing. It was like a ballet dance.

A lot of manta time today at Punta Tosca, they kept coming back and back probably checking us out as much as we were checking them out! Or maybe they like the bubbles, or the sound we make. Anyhow, it was a fantastic dive!

I ended this year (2012) with a closer look at razor sharp teeth than I have ever seen in 12 years of diving experience: Socorro Island on the Nautilus Explorer

The hammerhead sharks were just hanging out at about 80ft. I had this one encounter where I just stared out into the blue, not knowing that a school of them were just over my head, but one got my attention, it just kept coming and coming.
