So much shark life!

The “Shark group” (3 gentleman of 50+ plus years) joined us and also saw schools of Hammerheads twice! They were so happy, like kids under the water.

Just when we were wondering how it could get any better… our eyes adjust looking out into the blue water as the famous spots of the largest fish in the ocean appear. A school bus of a giant female *WHALESHARK!!* cruises past us, only to be followed by a couple chevron and black manta rays.

Second dive of the day, we saw two beautiful hammerhead sharks among about ten Galapagos sharks. Visibility was incredible.

We were lucky enough to see two beautiful whale sharks, which was unexpected this time of year.

Guest Fernando’s Report

By Nautilus Staff on March 1st, 2018 in Guests, Socorro

Comecamos muito bem este segundo dia de mergulho. Logo que estabilizamos a profundidade, vimos as pequeñas covas cheias de White tip sharks descansando. Ao sairmos navegando, o primeiro encontro com Whale shark. Logo em seguida, um imenso cardume com galapagos sharks, dusk sharks, hammerhead sharks, silver tips… wonderful! – Fernando Avellar, Brasil
