Now, as a hostess on board the Nautilus Explorer, there comes a point in the day where you have a break and the option is to dive or have a nap. Today, like most days, I chose to dive.

Now, as a hostess on board the Nautilus Explorer, there comes a point in the day where you have a break and the option is to dive or have a nap. Today, like most days, I chose to dive. Deckhand Hernan dropped me off the South Tip and I descended slowly, surrounded by small schools […]

We got a chance to ask guests how their second day at Roca Partida was! Here are their responses! Divemaster Matt and one guest had a dive that we are more than jealous of! Wow! What an incredible day! Filling tanks and watching huge whales breach is pretty good, but then to add to it, I found […]

You could hear whales singing, saw 7 or 8 dolphins….They stayed and played with us….. The Mantas kept coming. Where ever you […]
