    Hammerhead at Socorro by Silvana Nies

    Sharks, mantas and humpback whales at Roca Partida

    By Nautilus Crew on February 13th, 2013 in Archive, Crew, Socorro

    For the last two days, we have been snorkelling in between dives at will, with humpback whales, a mother and calf. She is obviously a very comfortable mom as she lets Jr. roam a bit. The calf comes to the surface, breathes, frolics around the divers snorkelling at the surface, then goes back down to mom, who is hovering what appears to be motionlessly at about 8-10 metres below.

    Whales like I’ve never seen before captured on film by several of our divers this past trip! Some of the pictures and video of a mother and very new calf was breathtaking for those of us stuck above water. I happened to have a sneak preview of several of these treasures before any kind of […]

    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

    By Nautilus Crew on January 13th, 2013 in Archive, Crew, Socorro

    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.

    With our surface cages in the water, we opened up our deep cages and the shark action never stopped. We ran 72 cage rides over the 3 days, each and every dive seeming better than the last. Our batting average was 100%, all sharks all the time.

    It’s been all clear skies and sun for the first couple days into this Guadalupe Great White Shark expedition. We’ve had some great cage diving the past two days with 4 or 5 individual white sharks making appearances today and a couple that liked us enough to spend the entire day with us. We’ve also had two […]

    Lumpsuck is a macro site and guests enjoyed it. This DM had an epic day diving. Tones of Lumpsuckers and clingfish juveniles. (seems once you know how to see them, they are everywhere.) All guests are very happy with the day and enjoying the amenities of the boat.

    We begin with a slow start; one large female great white shark circling the submersible cages a few times on our first dive before disappearing, along with all of her friends for the second and third. Dive four is when things begin to get fun. A mixed bag of visitors begins to show up, including […]
