We have just wrapped our last day of diving for this trip to the incomparable Socorro Islands. I think the hardest part of this trip for me will be in about 10 minutes when I attempt to move our guests from the hottub, where I can currently hear a beautiful symphony of untrained voices with a beer […]

Our Dutch divemaster serenades us on guitar with songs of his own making as we chime in for good measure while dessert is brought out to us on the foredeck in a flat calm ocean at anchor Roca Partida. Guest blog. January 21, 2011.

Hello cybernetically-connected landlubbers! And greetings from Roca Partida. The parted rock is interesting from the moment you hear of it. It’s 65 miles from Socorro and San Benedicto and 265 from ‘civilization’ in Cabo San Lucas. And there’s apparently nothing near it. Well, nothing cartographers would speak of, but unless they dive they’re barely scratching […]

Roca Partida… In the morning we arrived here… what an amazing place. A rock sticking out to the Ocean. Amazing dive: we have seen White-tipped sharks, a silver-Tipped shark swimming by at some distance, some spotted a Hammerhaed in the distance. On the 3rd dive I am pretty sure, that it was a Galapagos Shark […]

Hello world Greetings from the Nautilus Explorer. I heard about this pioneering boat 13 months ago and it remained on my brain’s backburner for the 11 months it took for me to be ready to book it. It’s not the sort of idea one forgets easily, despite the abundance of first world distraction. Other than […]

Lever du soleil vers 6h30 sur San Benedicto, dauphins à l’avant du bateau pour nous souhaiter la bienvenue : nous avons quitté le mouillage de nuit vers 6h30 pour rejoindre Boiler, le site sur lequel nous ferons 4 plongées aujourd’hui. C’est un ballet de Raies Mantas qui s’est succédé tout le long de la journée. […]

The songs of the humpbacks could be heard in the background while the mantas played… After our most beautiful and comfortable transit of the season from Cabo San Lucas to the Socorro Islands we arrived at our first destination for this expedition, Isla San Benedicto. The 24 hour ride south from Cabo offered nothing more than […]
