Whale shark off the back of the Nautilus Explorer all day long and dolphins playing with her. Phenomenal.

Yesterday at Roca Partida was phenomenal. Had two whalesharks and everyone had multiple encounters on all their dives. One whaleshark was hanging around the stern of the Nautilus Explorer a couple times during the day. Loads of dolphins all day as well on all dives, hanging out with the divers and playing with the whaleshark. […]

I booked this Socorro trip on the Nautilus Explorer three and a half years ago and it was absolutely worth every second waiting for! Frank

All of roca partida is amazing, it’s one of the coolest far away places I have ever been.  It seems to be there still a balanced ecosystem, which in the world today is very difficult to find.  I think that roca is a place where we can learn quite a bit about our behaviour. Joern […]

Fantastic because if i will tell anybody at home that we did three or four dives a day and every time we were in the water we see giant mantas, dolphins, whale shark , two or three times during the dive, and when we go out of the water we see Carmen with a smile, no one will believe it. And when you are getting your gear off you look out in the blue, and you see the whale shark in the surface. Mantas in the surface and dolphins. And at night we get a great dinner and we go to bed with a great smile. -Pedro from Austria

My first dive at Cabo Pierce on Socorro Island. Almost immediately there was a huge manta, gracefully soaring overhead which stayed with us and then suddenly my divemaster pointed at a shark a hammerhead, so near. I’ve never seen one in the water before.  And then a whale shark came into view, beautiful, moving slowly […]
