Roca Partida looks underwhelming from the surface. A huge school that seemed to go on forever underwater was mesmerizing..

Dive day two of our current Socorro expedition has us diving famous Roca Partida. A guano covered rock in the middle of the pacific ocean, seeing it from the surface is slightly underwhelming. As soon as you back-roll off our dive tenders and dip beneath the surface though the rock comes alive. Roca Partida is […]

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 […]

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 […]

We had the opportunity to go ashore which was quite the experience. The island is quite inhospitable but unique in it’s own way. The Booby birds were were in all stages […]

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.

By the way, night snorkelling with silky sharks is really exciting! Socorro Island.

  What makes this trip really interesting, is its balance between challenging dives like Roca Partida and nice-n-easy dives like our first two at Socorro Island. Btw, night snorkelling with the Silky sharks is really exiting. – G   Heute war der  zweite Tauchgang der Hammer. 3 Mantas umkreisten uns, einer war so nah dass […]
