Location: Espiritu Santo Island, Sea of Cortez, Baja California, Mexico Wind had calmed down a bit but picked up in the afternoon with a norte.  We decided to make today a wreck day. Our first dive site of the day was the wreck of the Fang Ming that was sank as an artificial reef west of […]

Location: San Benitos Islands, Baja California, Mexico. We got up early today to move the Nautilus Explorer to a new place around the corner of San Benitos Island.  We were visited on the way by Mexican fishermen from the local cooperativa who were worried that we would snag their lobster traps or dive for their […]

Kissed by a California Sea Lion in the Sea of Cortez

  • Post author By Nautilus Staff

By Nautilus Staff on November 26th, 2007 in Archive, Captain Mike, Sea of Cortez

Sten reported that they started the trip off with a visit to Los Islotes and the resident population of California sea lion pups. The scuba divers let the sea lions chew on their fins, their wetsuits and one diver was even “kissed” on the mouth. The last dive of the day was on the wreck of the Fang Min – a Chinese fishing boat that was caught fishing illegally in Mexican waters, confiscated and then sunk as an artificial reef on November 17, 1999.

Dust Storms and Forest Fires

  • Post author By Nautilus Staff

By Nautilus Staff on October 23rd, 2007 in Archive, Captain Mike

Locals here in Ensenada are telling us that they have never seen such sustained and strong Santa Ana outflow winds. The good news is that the downtime gave us an extra 5 days to catch up on painting, varnishing, carpentry, welding repairs and such. The bad news is that winds blew up such a choking dust storm that it was impossible to get any painting done until the winds finally died down this morning.

Our good friends from the Vancouver Aquarium and Marine Science Centre (led by the ever-intrepid Andy Lamb) requested a repeat of the Sea of Cortez spring expedition of 2 years ago. So heck, why not!
