Wonderful manta shows throughout the trip on San Benedicto island and Socorro island. Schooling hammerheads at Roca Partida. And a whale shark on the second dive of the trip!

Read MoreOur first dive day kicked off with great conditions – calm seas above and excellent visibility below. A mild current over the volcanic rock ridge brought early sightings of large scalloped hammerhead sharks and a couple curious manta rays…
Read MoreMagical islands – full of surprises. One minute you’re zooming in on a tiny flatfish or hidden lobsters…and then you look up and wow! Giant Manta or a Tiger Shark or Hammerhead!!
Read MoreThis is my second trip to Socorro with Nautilus. This destination and dive operation is top shelf – excellent location and trip! The mantas can distract from all the other great reef life, so be sure to look around. Schools of Jack, beautiful Trivoli, Moorish idols etc etc etc.

Read MoreThe staff of Nautilus Explorer are so nice, friendly and very helpful. The Captain is really professional, and the chef, Kiki, is wonderful and tailor made some asian food for us. It is definitely the best experience of liveaboard for us.
Read MoreThe dive masters are very excited and we especially enjoyed diving with Luis this trip. Sten was not able to dive but he was so excited for everything we saw. He knows so much about the animals that we felt like we were diving with him on every dive. We will definitely dive with him in the future!
