Roca Partida has lived up to its hype and then some. The two day stay began with an eventful exploration of the ancient magma plug. Schools of fish including almaco jack pairs, horse-eye jacks and more white-tip sharks than I could count, and of course, the incredible giant mantas. All of this peppered with yellow-tail […]

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 […]

Waking up to a Starlit Sky at Roca Partida, moon high in the sky standing on the top lounge deck of the Nautilus Explorer; trying to take it all in as you wake up. Everyone is up early for a remarkable Dawn dive, as the crew are up top, captain manning the Crane and getting […]

It's not easy to describe Roca Partida; it just has to be experienced. The water is warm (80F), the visibility is great (80+ft) and these two facts are far from the best part.

The undersea life here is simply stunning. Today we saw 5 different species of sharks, abundant fish, a giant manta. It was a big day for me personally, as I saw my first hammerhead shark and my first whale shark. It was also my first dive with no bottom reference. We spent most of our […]

Er war riesig und vor allem wunderschoen!!! Ich werde Roca Partida nie vergessen. -Meike After 12 years of diving (albeit on and off while I was at University due to lack of funds) […]

The lost ROCK from XDivers Rodrigo Figueiredo on Vimeo. On our way to Roca Partida we stop to take a swim the weather was so calm and the sun was out. There was nothing much to do but tan on the top deck and just wait patiently to see what Roca Partida had for […]

What can I say. For the second dive of my life post Open Water Certification (first dive was at the Boiler under the watchful eye of my good friend, Dive Master Joel), I rolled off the back of an inflatable boat at Roca Partida. It was 3 minutes into the dive when a Whale Shark […]
