This 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.

Read MoreJust finished the last dive of the trip and it was epic. Non stop manta action, interrupted by a swim through by the dolphins. Finished the dive with a school of hammerheads under us at the safety stop.. This was my third trip on the Belle Amie and I cannot wait to return.

Read MoreThis trip has been amazing! the only complaint I have now is having a hard time to figure out my next diving destination since I’ve been spoiled with such a great dives!! Mantas almost every dive, sharks constantly and even a “bad dive” we had 7 white tip sharks very active, huge black jacks very close! this is a great place to dive!

Read MoreWhat I’ve found on this trip is equally amazing- the crew of the Nautilus Undersea. Every one is a star in their own right. The crew work HARD to ensure that every guest has the best time possible. Their collective knowledge base is enormous. They are always first up, last to bed and yet somehow always have a big smile and a helping hand for all. This crew hits it out of the park!

Everytime I think I just might be getting hungry, someone hands me a second breakfast… or another cookie. No matter how hard I try, they always seem to find me with some food. I’m afraid for next week when I leave the boat and return to my family. Will someone feed me two breakfasts per day? No. Will someone follow me around work and say “wanna cookie?” No.
My life is about to become very hard.

Read MoreThis is my third trip to Socorro and it did not disappoint. There is a magic to this place unlike anywhere else. The mantas and dolphins don’t just zoom by – they stop to interact with divers. The variety of sea life is overwhelming. We saw at least five different kinds of sharks, rays (including an electric ray), eels, octopus, and so many fish. It was hard to leave the water at the end of each dive. The Nautilus crew was great and they worked so hard to make sure we all got the most out of the trip. All I can say is that I will be back.
