  • SOCORRO
    GIANT MANTAS
    • Socorro is all about Giant Mantas, not the number of manta but the amazing trust they have in us. If a manta looks yo in the eye and feels that she can trust you, the most amazing interspecies interaction often follows.
  • ULTIMATE
    WHALE SHARKS
    • The highlight of every trip is jumping in the water to swim and snorkel with the friendly whale sharks of Bahia de Los Angeles. On July trips, you can expect to swim with schooling mobula rays as well!
  • SEA OF CORTEZ
    AQUARIUM OF THE WORLD
    • Meet the playful sea lions of Los Islotes, surround yourself in a tornado of big eye jacks and schools of skipjacks. Lets not forget the huge pods of dolphins, turtles, mobulas, sperm whales, gobies, the hammerhead sharks around El Bajo & Los Animas, whales of all types of descriptions, shipwrecks and night dives. And if you’re lucky, giant mantas swimming around La Reina and orcas.
  • SAN IGNACIO
    GRAY WHALES
    • This is the most amazing and spectacular whale interaction with humans on the planet. Mamas will even push their babies up against our pangas to be stroked. Be ready to create a deeply personal connection that will stay with you for a lifetime.
  • BAJA
    ULTIMATE WHALES
    • Meet the most majestic whales on the planet: Gray whales, humpbacks, blue whales, fin-back whales and whale sharks. Lets not forget about the huge pods of dolphins. Imagine combining the amazing gray whale interaction at San Ignacio Lagoon into an 8 days / 7 nights adventure at sea with all these other animals of Baja and your own spotter plane to absolutely maximize your encounters.
  • AIRPLANE SUPPORTED
    MOBULAS & ORCAS
    • Where there are schooling mobulas there can be orcas and with the help of our spotter aircraft we achieved a 78% success rate with in-water encounters in 2022. We have also encountered blue whales, solitary pregnant whale sharks, huge pods of dolphins and lots of fin whales on previous trips.
  • MARLIN & BAIT BALLS
    MEXICO SARDINE RUN
    • During October to January, a magical event happens in the nutrient rich swirling blue waters off Magdalena Bay where striped marlin gather to hunt on the second largest sardine run in the world. This thrilling underwater action is spectacular. There is an excellent chance of also seeing California sea lions, dolphin, wahoo, pelicans, different species of gulls, boobie birds, frigate birds, shearwaters and even the awe inspiring albatross.

There were Giant Pacific Mantas all around the cleaning stations, at least 4 to 6 of them. El Canyon was a sharky place with lots of hammerheads from the east to the southwest and a big tiger shark

By Nautilus Staff on February 24th, 2018 in Crew, Guests, Socorro

San Benedicto: a sacred rock. It’s blessed with jacks of all ages and sizes; juveniles, mid-sized, and super-sized trevallies swarm around the Boiler in large schools, surrounded by schools of the very fish they feed on, who, tongue-in-cheek, promenade themselves right in front of them. Yet mantas are the queens of the game; they seek […]

Das Tauchen in Socorro hat all unsere Erwartungen uebertroffen – und sie waren nicht zu tief angesetzt nach all den tollen Videos, die wir im Vorfeld gesehen haben. Jeder Tauchgang war ein neues Highlight: Whale Sharks, verspielte Mantas, Delfine, Hammerhead Sharks und vieles mehr! Die Frage ist immer: Was soll ich nun anschauen, die Mantas […]

Anchored at boiler, clear skies diving: first dive was incredible with dolphins and mantas everywhere; guests didn’t know which way to look underwater. The pod of dolphins were probably over 50 scattered around the boiler. Second dive saw no dolphins but multiple mantas the whole time. All guests are happy! Summary: the Boiler is yet […]

By Nautilus Staff on January 29th, 2018 in Guests, Socorro

Heute sind wir in Roca Partida getaucht. Allein dieser Tauchspot ist die lange Reise hierher wert. Direkt beim ersten Tauchgang kam uns der erste zutrauliche Oceanic Manta entgegen und spielte bis zum Ende des Tauchgangs mit den Blasen der Taucher. Waehrenddessen zog ein Walhai seine Bahnen um den beruehmten Roca Partida und stahl dem Manta […]
