We have a full boat on this trip with 32 divers coming to Revillagigedo. The first two dive sites that we visited on San Benedicto island were Fondeadero and Canon. And what a day, we saw Hammerheads, Silvertips, Dusky, and Whitetips not to speak of black and chevron mantas swimming around at a handshaking distance.  […]

On the way over we ran into a huge pod of bottlenose, numbering at least 500, and we spent more than an hour cruising with them, snorkeling and watching them jump and play in our wake. Now all the guests are snorkeling around Las Animas with dozens of sea lions and Guadalupe fur seals, more than we’ve ever seen there before actually.

You Can Expect Top-Class Diving from the First Dive

By Nautilus Crew on January 20th, 2022 in Socorro reviews

There is a common belief among divers that check-out dives are not the best dives of a trip. In the expeditions to Socorro Islands, you can expect top-class diving from the first dive. We usually do our check-out dive from the stern of the boat in a dive site called Fondadero in San Benedicto Island. It is a good practice because everybody is relaxed and has time to do the final adjustments to their gear and weights. Relax divers always have good luck! This week our check-out dive was a blast! The current was mild, the visibility was 60 ft and the animals were all waiting for us. We saw one chevron oceanic manta and one black manta cleaning. While we were enjoying the mantas two adult bottlenose dolphins came by to call for some attention. They were scratching each other and closing their eyes while they were doing it. It seemed that they were enjoying it very much. They swam in circles around us three times. It was a magical moment. Oceanic mantas, dolphins, silvertips, whitetips on a check-out dive can happen only in Revillagigedo islands! Love on the first dive!

s the hammerheads came in the fourth time, Cabo Pearce just exploded… two pelagic mantas came in behind us, and at our right eight bottlenose dolphins swam toward us… Mate, we didn’t know where to go. Crazy!

We started off jumping close to the wall. While swimming towards the receiver, several whitetips crossed our way. Suddenly, a hammerhead appeared in the blue and disappeared as fast as he came. When swimming to the inner side of the lava finger, several whitetips were circling between the rocks…
