This summer I dropped guests in the water with ice bergs in Alaska. Today I dropped our guests in the crystal clear waters of the pacific ocean in 12,800 feet of water and 80F.

Yesterday we were privledged enough to have good weather to dive Rocas Alijos. For the past 3 years weather has not permitted diving at this spot and the whole crew and all of the guests were very excited to get in the water. The three rocks thrust up from from the water and stood out […]

Then there were the fish, never seen so many, huge schools of criole, huge black jacks, redtail trigger fish, massive shoals of cottonmouth and some kind of mackerel.

Captain's Log – Turtle erotica… I watched through the wheelhouse windows as 2 green turtles locked in a steamy embrace. Or maybe they were just cuddling.

We’ve just left Roca Partida and are on our way back in Cabo San Lucas to disembark and prepare for our next trip back to the Socorro Islands. The highlight of this trip was definitely the diving at Roca Partida. Our one day at Socorro Island was a little disappointing as far as big animals […]

Shark Week has nothing on us today. I got so used to the shark action that I almost skipped the last dive. Whale shark!

Our first three dives were filled with the usual galapagos and silver tipped sharks, nests of white tipped reef sharks, giant tuna, wahoo and the odd pacific manta. My highlight so far was the three hammerhead encounters on my second dive this morning – stunning. I got so used to this amazing shark action that […]

Who knew that white tip sharks grade themselves by size? from small to big. From the Nautilus Explorer – Roca Partida

Arriving at 7AM to the Mexican Show on Roca was very welcoming to the boatload of Canadians made us feel right at home. Dropping into the blue with a dense school of jacks and trevally, interspersed with wahoo, puffers and oh yes, dozens of sharks!! White tips, silver tips, Galapagos, silky, hammerhead and apparently a […]
