There was a giant black manta dressed in Prada, jet black with white stripes flying solo. She was curious like a cat. Socorro 2012, Mexico.

It was thrilling to hear whales‚ music on our first dive. And giant mantas on our second! With graceful wings he hung over me, letting my breath bubble across his belly claspers and all! Great! Huge schools of yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and jacks. Galapagos and hammerhead sharks. Oh yeah, and the mantas wouldn’t leave us […]

Four dives today at Roca Partida. Strong current around the rock. First dive I wasted way too much energy (and air) fighting the current. Smarter on the second dive and even smarter on the third dive, that was the best. Hit on a school of 30+ Galapagos (or so someone says) sharks (10 footers). They […]

Roca Partida is one of those magical places that exist in our dreams. We have had the pleasure of spending two full days of diving around “The Rock”. Now remember it is also smack dab in the middle of nowhere close to land or shelter, it is exposed to all the elements at hand. I […]

We arrived at the remote Clarion Island early this morning after an overnight transit from Roca Partida. Clarion is the 4th island in the Revillagigedo chain of islands, commonly known as the Socorro Islands. We rarely get a chance to dive here, so we are still in the exploration stage at Clarion. Today after checking […]

Que nos creiamos? Que no quedan delfines para bucear con ellos? Que son pocos los sitios donde ˆsin ser una piscina- puedes bucear con ellos? Solo queda una cosa por decir! Aqui estaban! Han venido esta manana a saludarnos, y nos han hecho mil y una monerias! No ha sido un simple paso, te saludo, […]

I've been to Roca Partida before but the first dive of the day was one of those dives that are simply magic. Leaving you with that special feeling only a few dives over the years will give you to remember forever. Roca Partida, Baja California, Mexico.
