Today was the last day of this 8 day diving expedition to the one-of-a-kind Socorro Islands. We finished this trip with two days of diving at Roca Partida which is nothing more than the top 100 ft of a 11,000 ft underwater volcanic mountain. Not much to look at from the surface, an exposed rock not much bigger than […]

We got a bit of swell at Socorro Island and the prediction is that we will get a bit more, but the Nautilus Explorer handles it really well. We’ll head out to Roca Partida once it calms down. You can’t beat the reassurance of sailing on a diveboat that has been venturing out to the […]

Today at (*name of secret dive site at Socorro Island deleted by Captain Mike!), during my 200th dive,I finally saw my first whale shark! What a sight! and I also saw something very unusual: as I was swimming towards the whale shark after seeing it cruising below me, a large galapagos shark boosted into view […]

Back to Roca Partida (Socorro) and we started of well with many silver tips and big Galapagos sharks a bit deeper at ca 80-120 ft. Some hammerheads , but not the massive schools of them. The fish life was crazy so much of creol fish and scissortails that they covered the viz to get any […]

Coming back to Socorro Island I wondered about this curiouse friendly dolphin that we started to see 4 years ago. If she is still here or even still alive. The first dive did not give so much until the end of the dive a male very curious giant manta came in and visited us. The […]
