Note from Captain Mike: Report just in on errant unusually aggressive behaviour from a dominant male sea lion at Los Islotes.   More to follow… I didn’t tell my wife to check the blogs, but I’d like to tell er I had an awesome trip as usual on the Nautilus Explorer and the crew could […]

Today is our fourth day on location at Clipperton Atoll aka Isle of Passion. Its more romantic sounding name coming from the time when a Mexican navy sector was stationed on the island during the early 1900’s and then forgotten about when the Mexican revolution started. The navy personnel and their families, who had previously […]

Wind is up a bit today so we’re diving along the leeward reef. What we call “The Nursery”. Two dives so far and it’s been good. Lots of juvenile sharks, silver tips and galapagos. Very fishy also. One guest just came up from his dive and said it’s one of the best dives he’s ever […]

http://vimeo.com/43274768 It is an amazing privilege to be granted permission by the Republic of France to take our guests ashore at Clipperton Atoll – a true desert island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  Hundreds of thousands of masked, brown, and red footed boobies litter the shores, with literally millions of bright orange land […]

Loads of fish at Clipperton Atoll

Shark life was evident almost immediately with several juvenile silver tips cruising around under the boat and checking out the divers. Green and fine-spotted morays roamed the reef bottom, free swimming and often following divers. One diver reported a large hammerhead shark, and I saw an adult silky shark cruising the blue as well. Lots of leather bass, moorish idols, butterfly fish, the endemic Clipperton Atoll angelfish, damsel fish, sergeant majors, blue and gold snapper, trevally jacks, black triggers, goldrim surgeonfish, among others completed the beautiful reef scene.

We awoke to a beautiful morning on the water today, the barest hint of a breeze and a long, slow, rolling swell out of the south. Currently north by west of Clipperton Atoll, approximately 3500m (11600ft) of water under the hull and it’s time for a swim. Main engines on the Nautilus Explorer are off, […]

Huuhhh?? After our best season ever for big animals at Socorro Island, the last couple of days have been slow.

1945hrs We’ve just departed Socorro Island for our annual Clipperton expedition. We spent the last two days diving at San Benedicto and Socorro of the Revillagigedo chain of islands. The diving was a little disappointing with minimal big animal activity. A few hammerhead sharks here and there and one giant manta for a couple lucky […]
