Happy New Year to all of you Scuba stallions out there! Hope you all rang in the new year with your chosen ones. We have just started our first Socorro Islands trip of 2014, having just wrapped up a great first day of diving at San Benedicto. We departed Cabo San Lucas on the southern […]

I'm almost, but not quite, at a loss for words in attempting to describe the giant manta experience we had today. I counted eight mantas in my field of view at once!

What a show they gave us! I’ve been on many a manta dive, and the three today are without a doubt the three best I’ve ever had! They are majestic, inquisitive, and engaging, with the black manta (Stealth Bomber) stealing the show. The Nautilus Explorer did not disappoint; I’m so glad to be back on […]

It was awesome I got my manta cherry popped today and it was good for me lol – Wayne   What an amazing experience:  not one, not two , not three but a “squadron of mantas” again and again and again. One did not know where to look first, it was manta heaven.  They were […]

Our afternoon at the Boiler yesterday kicked ass. Several people said they counted at least 8 different Mantas! They were around for every dive for the entire dive! It was kind of difficult to leave and move on to our next site, this seemed like our best window for Roca Partida and we are still […]

Oh my goodness..  Okay, before I get ahead of myself, I have to mention our single day at Roca Partida, which can be quite the Grand Finale, but left us a slightly high and dry.  The Nature of the Beast as Captain Al likes to say.  Even though, decent, with lots of white tips, some […]
