Nautilus LiveaboardsSecond time in Socorro and I came trying to not have unreasonable expectations after a mind blowing first trip. Socorro has not disappointed! The seemingly impossible has been achieved and the second trip has topped the first. Mantas, dolphins, tiger sharks, whale sharks and all the usual shark suspects have presented in their incredible beauty!!

The crew of Nautilus is going out of their way to make every day exceptional. It is wonderful to see that they are all very much multitasking,… and most of all making us feel welcome and comfortable.

Read More…And then the first dolphin showed up! So friendly, rubbing against all the divers asking for cuddles, many divers took selfies with him!! It was really special! And after a while his buddies joined and we were surrounded by a pod of 20 Bottlenose including two babies!! Amazing!!

Read MoreThe diving itself was lovely, with large schools of fish and numerous moray eels and well-endowed spiny lobsters. Everybody’s favorite was undoubtedly the copious piles of sleeping whitetip sharks. The rock was surrounded by several larger sharks, Galapagos, Silky, Silvertip, even Hammerheads sometimes ventured close enough for us to see without heading deep into the blue…

Read MoreSocorro diving was on my bucket and I have been looking forward to this trip for a while!! And the first day of diving did not disappoint. El Canyon was awesome: Tiger sharks and schools of hammerheads every dive, in addition to the Galapagos, white tip, and silvertip sharks and rays. We also saw two mantas, one chevron and one black, what majestic animals.

Read MoreThis has been the trip of a lifetime and one I am bound not to forget anytime soon, if ever! I would have to say that the highlight for me was the school of hammerheads we saw on our first day of diving. I must admit, there is something very magical about each dive site at the three islands we visited and I am leaving here even more humbled and expanded by the ocean’s beauty.

Read MoreWe moved to Socorro island for the second day of dives… it was really good too. At the end of the day, we got the chance to go snorkling with silky sharks. What an experience, all those beautiful animals swimming half of meter of you. Mantas and hammerheads for our fun. Sailed back to San Benedicto to meet El Boiler. What a site. Dolphins, mantas and sharks… and a lot of life.
