Hi Mike and Mary Anne, First of all, I’d like to thank you by the amazing experience you gave me on the NE. I use to say that all living aboards success depends on 3 different components: – The Vessel: Strong and stable , good cabin space and also common space. Good diving facilities, nothing […]
Read MoreMind blowing, never seen anything like it; hundreds of sharks from white tips, silvertips, silkies to Galapagos and one hammerhead. Then there were the fish, never seen so many, huge schools of criole, huge black jacks, redtail trigger fish, massive shoals of cottonmouth and some kind of mackerel. The best dive of my life!! – […]

Everybody was talking at the same time about the marine life they saw (how big, how many, what types?). After that, a very good, hot breakfast and another dive, better this time because a manta came around and […]

Btw, night snorkelling with the Silky sharks is really exiting. – G Heute war der zweite Tauchgang der Hammer. 3 Mantas umkreisten uns, einer war so nah dass […]

Again a marvellous time on the Nautilus today – Nicolas […]

The hammerhead sharks were just hanging out at about 80ft. I had this one encounter where I just stared out into the blue, not knowing that a school of them were just over my head, but one got my attention, it just kept coming and coming. It got about 3 feet away from where I was. I had a close look at the razor sharp teeth, that was my first encounter with one that came that close for the 12 years of diving experience.
