We had squadrons of sharks at Roca Partida and even a hawksbill turtle that underwent a thorough barnacle clean. Socorro, Mexico. July 4, 2012.

The final dive of the day capped it all off with schools of silkie sharks, white tips and silver tips waking up for some night time action. The sharks were so friendly that even as we were ascending they swam in and around us, over and under us.

The Charcoal Black Coloured Giant Manta Swooped Inches Over our Head at San Benedicto Island. Socorro, Mexico. May 30, 2012.

How was it diving at the Boiler with the Mantas?! It was great, we saw tons of wildlife on the walls of the Boiler and then the giant Mantas came into the picture. Amazing they would come right up to you make eye contact and then swoop right over your head. It was so cool! […]

"Dive of my life", "Spiritual", "Ruined for life about diving elsewhere", etc. Socorro, Mexico. May 23, 2012.

Still no pirates on the horizon, however, you can just see […]

So much fun I can hardly find the words! I could start with MANTA'S and finish with HAMMERHEAD! Socorro, 2012, Mexico.

You can fill in the blanks from there.  We were treated to multiple displays from a few humpback whales, that was awesome. We also had quite a few dolphins taking turns riding the bow wave, even a copy of barrel rolls. I think they enjoyed themselves. First dive of the trip, straight down to a […]

It is special to see an all black manta but to see 3 different ones in the same day is definitely a treat! Socorro, 2012, Mexico.

Hi, It was a real great Day in Socorro at Cabo Pierce, the best Dive at the Trip, so far. At the first dive on this day we saw a school of Hammerheads, and it was a really fantastic experience. Three Mantas passed by playing in the bubbles, awesome. Also a lot of Octopus, Morrays, […]

We have spent the past 4 days diving at Isla San Benedicto. Captain Gordon, Socorro Islands, Mexico 2012.

One of 4 islands that make up the Islas Revillagigedo. A forbidding looking island with its gray volcanic cone of hardened ash rising up at the south end of the island and black ridges of solidified lava from an eruption in the mid 20th century, what it lacks in life on its shores it more […]
