Good Fun: First Day Dives

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.

A guest recounts her amazing underwater exploration while diving at Socorro Island…

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 […]

Spotted 2 big male orcas and watched them get in real close to a couple of humpback whales and freak them out.

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 […]

BOOM! Whales everywhere. A few dolphins were riding the whales bow wake. Yes there were enough of the whales together that they were creating a bow wake.

  This morning myself and four others, after observing several humpbacks cruising around the Nautilus Explorer, went out whale watching. We cruised towards the shore behind us at Punta Tosca searching for a few of the big guys we had seen flopping around on the surface. As we approached a group of three, they suddenly […]
