I had the best dive EVER this morning in San Benedicto, El Boiler! As soon as we touched the water surface we saw a group of dolphins which came to greet us. They were diving around and underneath, playing with us and being very friendly. I am passionate about dolphins, they are my favourite animals, […]

Is this the end of it already?? We got through the last day of diving, but it was so intense that time just flew. Today is the last day in the ‘boyler’, dolphins were hanging out at the point from the sunrise and waited there for the length of 2 dives, but not just that. […]

Getting manta attention

By Nautilus Staff on January 8th, 2018 in Crew, Socorro

Back to Socorro island for a new season on the Nautilus Explorer! We left these dive sites 5 months ago and ever since I have been counting the days until I would come back to this magical place: the boiler, Roca Partida, Cabo Pearce, Punta Tosca…I have dived many other places in the world, but […]

Weekly news from the Revillagigedo… We dived the first day at San Benedicto island and had a couple of encounters with hammerhead sharks and manta rays. Second day at Socorro, dolphins played with us and we interacted with some giant friendly mantas. But all this was just a warm up… Day 3 and 4 we […]

My favourite dive site was the Boiler. Possibly the greatest experience of my life happened here on our second dive of the day at this unique location. While scanning the blue, I saw a spectacular Chevron Manta approach me silhouetted by the sun, moving gracefully towards me 10 metres below the surface. I watched this […]

Trip re-cap & checklist

By Nautilus Staff on December 25th, 2017 in Crew, Socorro

This trip as an overall was fantastic. Weather conditions were great everyday. Temperature off the water was 26c in most of the dives and visibility was around 20m to even 40m. If we use a fauna checklist this trip would check most of the amazing animals that the Revillagigedo Islands offer. Mantas were around in […]

This first trip of June is pumping! Roca Partida is more amazing than I ever thought it could be. Every dive brings us close to schools – massive schools – of yellow fin tunas, bonitos, big eye jacks, and the majestic schools of silky sharks mixed with silvertip and Galapagos sharks. So many sharks around, […]
