It has been a day filled with many first time experiences. First dive in the pacific, first dive from a liveaboard, first time shark encounter, first time diving with giant mantas. All in all a fantastic first day full of wonderful experiences and many more to come!

Read MoreThe Socorro trip on the Nautilus has been terrific. The staff, the food, and the sites were all first-rate. My favorite, as probably everyone else’s, had to be those mantas! They converged on us, encircled us, and approached from above and below, in front of us and behind.

Read MoreMantas galore – black, white, giant, small…, mantas dancing, eyeballing us, pirouetting, feeding, cleaning and having fun. Mantas on almot every dive and up close and real friendly.

Read MoreMention the Socorro Islands to a diver and it brings up the desire to go to there to see the Manta Rays, the Hammerhead Sharks and everything else under the water. The Nautilus Belle Amie was the most pleasant surprise to this entire trip. The accommodations are fantastic, the meals are so good that you eagerly anticipate the next meal. It has fulfilled a dream…

Read MoreI really enjoyed the manta extravaganza, it exceeded my expectations. I was very happy to see the variety of sharks as well. The presentations were also very informative and the crew was all very friendly and helpful throughout the trip. I would highly recommend this trip to others and likely will be back in the next few years.

Read MoreThe water has been very clear and just a little cool. The sea life is abundant and distinct from other locales. The most notable thing is the number and variety of manta rays I’ve seen. The Belle Amie and crew have offered an comfortable and enjoyable trip. Strongly recommended.

Read MoreI approached this trip with a mixture of apprehension and excitement. Would the currents be too strong? Would the water be too cold? But when the first dive greeted me with hammerhead sharks, several manta rays, and a multitude of sharks all my anxiety was gone. The diving has been spectacular!! Every dive seems to be better than the last.
