The Opposite of What I Thought I Would Have Ever Done

Giant mantas swim right up next to you and there is no other experience like it. You realize you do not have to worry about sharks and surprisingly within a few hours you find yourself swimming toward a tiger shark which is weirdly the opposite of what I thought I would have ever done. I definitely recommend you do this trip at least once in your life as nothing can compare to it from the dives and my time on the boat.

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…

Today was an epic day of diving. The kind that makes your heart smile. On our first dive, we were greeted immediately with mobula rays, and then a beautiful giant black manta that serenaded us the majority of the dive. Amidst the activity some friendly dolphins also checked us out. It was truly breathtaking.

From a school of 100 Hammerheads on the first day, to the two Mantas who circled us repeatedly for 15 minutes on a safety stop until we had to surface to the whitetips and silvertip sharks – it’s all worth dragging that 7mm wetsuit on.

Our first dive day kicked off with great conditions – calm seas above and excellent visibility below. A mild current over the volcanic rock ridge brought early sightings of large scalloped hammerhead sharks and a couple curious manta rays…

By Nautilus Staff on January 22nd, 2018 in Crew, Socorro

This trip started like many other dives. On our first dive as always our dear Dolphins showed up, punctual as usual. Me and one of my divers, had trouble going down, so it took a little longer. But it is all about the timing. And as we were going down on the last encounter, we […]
