Nautilus dive guide is still surprised!
As a Nautilus Dive Guide new to Socorro, there are still surprises hidden up the sleeves of these incredible islands. Today, the Nautilus Explorer ventured around the point from Punta Tosca towards Roca O’Niel.

Divemaster Anthony’s Roca Report
Today was a great day at Roca Partida with loads of Hammerhead sharks and a wonderful Manta encounter. This is a unique, secluded place with much to enjoy, from Cabo Pearce to San Benedicto.

A Great Visitor at Roca Partida
There was a school of hammerhead sharks in 80 ft of depth, and bait balls of skip jacks. To finish our day at Roca we had a great visitor: a whale shark! It was not a big one, but still impressive. Socorro did not let us down!

Magical manta encounter
Five minutes into the dive, passing through in the Blue, three massive hammerhead sharks! Another one in the sandy bottom at 25mts, two Manta rays, two big Galapagos sharks, and two Silver tip sharks.

Galapagos Sharks coming back in
8-9 years ago San Benedicto was heavily netted and took out almost the whole population of Galapagos sharks. At that time, we were helping to get some illegal fishing boats documented and reported to be followed up. The presence of the dive boats has definitely been pushing out poachers from this area.

Come back with us, Nautilus!
He’s a very caring experienced trip leader, that gives us dive guides a lot of background information about divers needs, dreams, and wishes so we can start to work on trying to fulfill their dreams during the time they are our guests and hopefully we will see them coming back, which they often do here with Nautilus.
