With our last DM Blog we left you on the way to Socorro Island after a very successful day at Roca Partida. Isla Socorro was absolutely beautiful and full of life. On the first day, after checking in with the Navy base at the island, we moved to Cabo Pearce where we enjoyed diving with […]

Today was incredible. The first dive of the day was easily one of my top five dives of all time: three different, majestic giant mantas swimming within feet of us for the duration of the dive, from our first drop to 80 feet to our final ascent to 30 feet. These creatures are incredibly curious […]

The romance of the sea takes on a whole new meaning when you get to not only sail the high seas, but also dive them. Especially when that diving involves a very personal interaction with very large, wild animals! Our final expedition of the season to the magical Islands of the Socorros had plenty of […]

We expected a lot from this trip and so far it even got much better!! After the first 5 days of diving we have seen more .. (* note from Captain Mike – this is the nature of big animal diving – some trips are super hot and the diving sizzles while other trips are quieter. Not every trip is going to be this fantastic… darnit *) Guest blog – June 4, 2010

It is easy to get jaded about diving when you work on the Nautilus Explorer. For example, I went diving in Hawaii this past April and, although the dive was quite pretty, I couldn’t help but feel a little unfulfilled when the dive was over. No sharks, no mantas, no dolphins…. This afternoon I dived […]

More great diving at the one of a kind Roca Partida today, despite the wind and choppy sea state. For those of you not familiar with Roca Partida, from the surface it is nothing more than a rock, roughly 200 ft long by 100 ft high, jutting up in mid-pacific, hundreds of miles from any […]
