San Ignacio Gray Whales
Extraordinary Interaction & Experience
I love going to Punta Tosca, it’s such an unexpected dive site where we never know what we can expect and even best we the big animals don’t show up I still think it’s one of the best topographic dive sites.

A mother and baby dolphin join us during the safety stop after were dancing with four mantas for 20 minutes. Two days before that in the canyon was the first time ever that the hammerheads were coming so close to us! Also were a mother and her baby were looking around us 4 times during the dive. The guests are very happy to have these unbelievable experiences.

Halfway through our trip with the Nautilus Belle Amie, we are already wishing we were here longer. San Benedicto was an amazing start to the journey and we were expertly guided through dives, El Canyon, and El Boiler exploring the depths around the volcanic island.

There is a common belief among divers that check-out dives are not the best dives of a trip. In the expeditions to Socorro Islands, you can expect top-class diving from the first dive. We usually do our check-out dive from the stern of the boat in a dive site called Fondadero in San Benedicto Island. It is a good practice because everybody is relaxed and has time to do the final adjustments to their gear and weights. Relax divers always have good luck! This week our check-out dive was a blast! The current was mild, the visibility was 60 ft and the animals were all waiting for us. We saw one chevron oceanic manta and one black manta cleaning. While we were enjoying the mantas two adult bottlenose dolphins came by to call for some attention. They were scratching each other and closing their eyes while they were doing it. It seemed that they were enjoying it very much. They swam in circles around us three times. It was a magical moment. Oceanic mantas, dolphins, silvertips, whitetips on a check-out dive can happen only in Revillagigedo islands! Love on the first dive!

This trip was the first time in Revillagigedo for almost all the guests. They were expecting sharks, mantas, and dolphins and they got it!
Read MoreOnly 10 minutes into the dive we are surrounded by six mantas, hugging and high-fiving us. There is rarely a more remarkable experience than one of these gentle giants slowly approaching you from the deep blue, spanning her wings and heading towards you.
