A mother and baby dolphin join us during the safety stop after were dancing with four mantas for 20 minutes. Two days before that in the canyon was the first time ever that the hammerheads were coming so close to us! Also were a mother and her baby were looking around us 4 times during the dive. The guests are very happy to have these unbelievable experiences.
Read MoreWe completed two more great dives yesterday at Cabo Pearce. Dolphins were sighted on dive one and mantas were present the entire day.
Read MoreThe first two dives have been fantastic. Visibility is over 100 feet and wildlife is here to play. On dive one divers saw a large tiger shark, three mantas, and dolphins, as well as some hammerheads. Dive two had at least two friendly mantas and more tiger shark sightings. The guests are loving the topography and the calm boardings.

Halfway through our trip with the Nautilus Belle Amie, we are already wishing we were here longer. San Benedicto was an amazing start to the journey and we were expertly guided through dives, El Canyon, and El Boiler exploring the depths around the volcanic island.

There is a common belief among divers that check-out dives are not the best dives of a trip. In the expeditions to Socorro Islands, you can expect top-class diving from the first dive. We usually do our check-out dive from the stern of the boat in a dive site called Fondadero in San Benedicto Island. It is a good practice because everybody is relaxed and has time to do the final adjustments to their gear and weights. Relax divers always have good luck! This week our check-out dive was a blast! The current was mild, the visibility was 60 ft and the animals were all waiting for us. We saw one chevron oceanic manta and one black manta cleaning. While we were enjoying the mantas two adult bottlenose dolphins came by to call for some attention. They were scratching each other and closing their eyes while they were doing it. It seemed that they were enjoying it very much. They swam in circles around us three times. It was a magical moment. Oceanic mantas, dolphins, silvertips, whitetips on a check-out dive can happen only in Revillagigedo islands! Love on the first dive!

This trip was the first time in Revillagigedo for almost all the guests. They were expecting sharks, mantas, and dolphins and they got it!
Read MoreThe wildlife has been showing up in force! At least three mantas on the checkout dive, some scattered hammerheads as well as Galapagos and silvertip sharks. On dive two at The Canyon, there were three more manta sightings, some schooling hammerheads coming close to the divers at the transmitter, and two large tiger sharks. Divers are thrilled.
