By Nautilus Crew on August 11th, 2023 in Dive Report

Let me be very honest with my readers, my wife almost dragged me to this Liveaboard trip on the Nautilus Gallant Lady. I had just learned to scuba and was not sure about what to expect. However, I must say I was absolutely blown away by everything. Every member of the crew went above and […]

By Nautilus Guests on July 23rd, 2018 in Citizen Science, Guests, Socorro

I worked with giant manta identification to differentiate each individual, and thus evaluate their population. This helps to obtain important information including how many individuals are in the biosphere reserve, how many mantas are present every season and if there are new mantas every season. It also includes which islands attract more mantas, how many females and males are there, and how the mantas move between the islands.

A never-ending highway of fish! A fish soup or a snowstorm of fish! Thousands and thousands, Creole fish, Jacks, fusiliers, gaftails pompanos, spotted nose snappers, we saw a couple of huge 5 foot Pacific dog snappers and thousands of Bonitos hunting.

Zen-Like Bluewater Diving Looking for Mantas and Sharks

By Nautilus Staff on February 11th, 2008 in Archive

Silky, Galapagos, and hammerhead sharks made numerous appearances, along with large schools of yellowfin tuna, almaco jacks, trevally, and the innumerable triggerfish and reef animals that we’ve come to expect.

Drift Dive Through Schools of Tuna and Hammerhead Sharks

By Nautilus Staff on February 2nd, 2008 in Archive

Almost immediately we were mobbed by an enormous school of yellowfin tuna swimming powerfully all around us, with silky and silvertip sharks thrown in the mix. After they passed, a group of hammerhead sharks made an appearance, allowing some excellent photographing opportunites. As we approached the island, a cloud of triggerfish burst into view, with circling silvertip sharks deep below us. The island drew by quickly in the current, and as we passed to the south we were given one last sendoff by yellowfin tuna and some curious wahoo, with some coy passes by hammerhead sharks for an encore.

Tuna, Hammerhead and Silvertip Sharks Galore but Where’s the Giant Mantas???

There was a coldwater current running past the island steadily for the whole two days, and with it came excellent visibility and a great amount of hammerhead, silky, Galapagos, whitetip, and silvertip sharks.  That’s on top of the friendly wahoo, the massive schools of tuna, the unique photographing opportunity of a moray eel wrapped comfortably around resting whitetip sharks, and big schools of triggerfish, big-eyed trevally, jacks, and other familiar faces.
