The final dive of the day capped it all off with schools of silkie sharks, white tips and silver tips waking up for some night time action. The sharks were so friendly that even as we were ascending they swam in and around us, over and under us.

Socorro is the largest of the three islands that we normally dive during these expeditions, however it is the first time we’ve been able to dive here in many months due to the navy closures […]

Well this morning finds our sleepy ship rising at a more leisurely pace as today is a non diving day while we make our transit from Socorro Island to the Sea of Cortez. We finished our last two days at San Benedicto with much more giant Manta fun at the boiler. Over the last two […]
