  • 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.

Seeing Them Torpedo Out of the Water

By Nautilus Guests on September 30th, 2021 in Guadalupe reviews

I thought these sharks only breached in South African waters but seeing them from the dive deck was absolutely spectacular. Each day provided us with a different activity from surface cages being the highlight on the first day, to seeing them torpedo out of the water on the second day, and finally, the close-range interactions in the deep on the last day.

Some of our lovely guests from the end of season trips to Socorro took time to write out some thoughtful testimonials. Nothing like a handwritten note to look back on the good times! Click on an image to see the larger version.

Mantas & Delfine begeistern bei Socorro Endlich Mants und Delfine sowie vereinzelt Haie, Zackenbarsche und Schwaerme nach der langen Ueberfahrt bei etwas rauherer See. Doch alle meisterten es gut und einige Hausmittelchen oder bewaehrte Tabletten halfen ganz gut. Es ist schon ueberwaeltigend, wenn die maechten, sehr zutraulichen Mantas so ganz nahe kommen und sich in […]

Note from Captain Mike. I am often asked if we are ever going to resume running dive trips in British Columbia and Alaska. The obvious answer is that YES, we would love to!! I spent 20 plus years exploring the pacific coast from Cape Flattery in Washington State to Glacier Bay and Juneau. I still […]

First time on a Nautilus boat, 4th time on a liveaboard. Multiple trips to the Pacific. The lower end rooms are large and at 6’6” I am very comfortable. The dive masters did a better job than I was expecting. I have been on pacific liveaboards that you have minimal guidance in currents. Entrance into […]

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 […]

Had a beautiful transit over to Clarion, arrived at 1030 this morning to a great dolphin show on the bow. Did a dive on the NE side where we had good diving my first time here. Was ok, some people had dolphins, for others it was a little quiet.  After one dive we started heading […]
