Captain's log : I think this is the first dive this season we didn't see mantas…

Beautiful day here today at San Benedicto (Socorro Island). Sunny and light winds from the NE. NW’ly swell still up but long enough not to be too bothersome. No other boats here again today. Yesterday afternoon we did another dive at the Boiler which was pretty quiet, so we moved to the south and tried […]

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 […]

After leaving the main island Socorro, having some glorious Dolphins saluting us good bye, we anchor up at Roca Partida 7 hours later.

With the Sun rising creating a spectacular swirl of pink and orange, as we have our breakfast and dive briefing, still wiping the sleep out of our eyes.  Nothing like simply waking up and being at your new dive destination, even though 80 or so miles away. The Swell at Roca partida can be on […]

Captain’s Log – Roca Partida is kind of like the mega mall supermarket of diving – marine life comes from miles around to check it out!

December 5 We arrived back to Socorro late last evening after two wonderful days out at Roca Partida. For those who have been to Roca Partida they understand the magic of the location. It’ kinda like the mega mall supermarket, marine life comes from miles around to check it out. Every dive is different even […]
