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.

  I had a great 2 days diving at Roca Partida with nice hot weather and warm water of 81 F and the visibility about 100 plus . The sighting of hammerhead ,silkys, galopogos sharks,silver tips, white tips,and manta just hang with us for the whole dive on some dives. When we are doing our safety […]

Giant mantas galore! The devil fish came out to play and all the divers very well trained at Socorro Island

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. It got about 3 feet away from where I was. I had a close look at the razor sharp teeth, that was my first encounter with one that came that close for the 12 years of diving experience.

Second day of diving, and the first day at Punta Tosca Mantas galore!  We took the zodiacs out to a ridge that starts at 30 feet and continues down.  If you stay between 40-50 feet, 15 to 22 meters, the devil fish come out to play! I think there were three although there could have […]
