Easy first dive, a mild current on the second dive. Loads of fish turtles, guests are loving La Reina, especially because a big manta showed up and played around with divers to then vanish in the blue water, mantas showed up in the two-morning dives, we are making one more dive then run to Cerralvo to make a shore excursion some kayaking, look for the big stuff to then head back to port tonight.
Read MoreWe are diving the lighthouse near San Francisquito, with the sea lions, this morning we did a Mangrove tour, they enjoyed the ride, they were able to see some of the water birds in the area, then we move to Isla Lobos to make a dive, water conditions were really good visibility, little current to the north, surface flat as a table, now we are here to make two dives then we are gonna move the boat back to Isla Lobos to make the night dive.
Read MoreThe first and second dives were good we are getting ready for the third dive, guests for the second dive asked to go to where we dove the first dive, they loved it so we did it again, they had an amazing time with the fish turtles and all the little creatures they found, some of the guests are good at spotting what is going on on the reef like the triggerfish mating or the spawning coral, a couple of the sea lion came down to play with guests. No current easy diving.
Read MoreToday was our first day in the Sea of Cortez. Although we were scheduled to visit la Isla de Guadalupe, when that trip was cancelled, the entire Nautilus team worked so hard to open up this trip to the Sea of Cortez. We are so appreciative of all of the time, work, and generosity that went into this alternative trip.
Read Morehis morning just after breakfast and around La Ventana we were doing round around the area to see if we could find some, we ran into two or three whales we went for the chase, put the skiff in water and guests got in the mood jumped in the skiffs and went after the whales, they couldn’t get in the water as the whales were in the move and at the time they dove down for several minutes at the time to then surface behind the boats, like teasing us, it was a nice show with loads adrenaline.
Read MoreI had originally booked a solo trip to Guadalupe Island with Nautilus Liveaboards for the summer and was disappointed at first that the island closed. Nautilus offered a Sea of Cortez trip instead. I was pretty nervous because I’m not a diver, and it’s a very dive-centered trip but it ended up feeling like a blessing in disguise!

Great job All
