For the past two days we’ve been diving at the infamous Roca Partida, a small rock poking up out of the ocean 70 nautical miles from its nearest neighbour, […]

Well, how could it get any better than three fantastic dives at the Socorro Is land dive site? Visited by Mantas constantly on the first two dives. Watching a giant Manta hanging in the current being cleaned by a dozen Clarion Angels was pretty cool. Then to top it all off after dinner some of […]

After a day on the open ocean, we arrived in San Benedicto Island around 9:30. The bottlenose dolphins escorted us, playing in our wake for the last 20-25 minutes giving us an amazing show. We took that as a great omen! Sure enough, we woke up to a gorgeous sunrise & several dolphins just waiting […]

FANTASTIC first dive of the day at Punta Tosca at Socorro Island.I have to look at the video to confirm I wasn’t still asleep and dreaming. Dolphins, mantas and more dolphins all came to greet us as we wiped the sleep from our eyes. The dolphins came to see what all the noise […]

We left the port and are rocking our way to Socorro for a few dives. Today we have ate and ate and now eating some more. The crew has been wonderful and very informative about our week to come. We are in the dolphin suite and my gosh how great it is. Those of you thinking of booking […]
