The Opposite of What I Thought I Would Have Ever Done

Giant mantas swim right up next to you and there is no other experience like it. You realize you do not have to worry about sharks and surprisingly within a few hours you find yourself swimming toward a tiger shark which is weirdly the opposite of what I thought I would have ever done. I definitely recommend you do this trip at least once in your life as nothing can compare to it from the dives and my time on the boat.

The Manta Immediately Filled My Field of View

Each time she passed over me, her big black eyes regarding me as she came, I leaned back and took a deep breath out of my tank, and blew all the bubbles I could manage. At a hundred and twenty feet down, this meant using air very rapidly. Each time she passed, my tank was another 5 or 7 bar lower, and by twenty minutes in, I was passing 70, bar 65, 60… Time to go up.

The Best Diving I Have Ever Done!

This is the 2nd time I have come on the Nautilus Undersea. We have had great days watching sharks and mantas. On our 2nd dive, we saw 5 species of sharks, White tips, Silver tips, Duskies, Galapagos, and Hammerheads. Our dive masters have kept us safe, our bellies have been full and the service has been great. We have just finished our 3rd day of diving. I would already be winding down with a beer in the hot tub, however, we have the silky shark snorkel to look forward to tonight. The days go by too fast.
