Socorro Island in the Revillagigedo Archipelago is a jewel in the eastern Pacific ocean. The islands are a protected marine biosphere that are a virtual aquatic Garden of Eden for both reef and pelagic critters including our favourite sharks, giant manta rays, dolphins, tuna and humpback whales. Sure it’s frustrating when we see sport […]

Had another good day at Roca Partida today. Although still overcast the diving has been solid, morning time especially. Had another whale shark this morning and loads of good dolphin action, specifically some mating dolphins in the morning. This afternoon I took divers over to what looked like a small bait ball looking for silkies. […]

What can I say. For the second dive of my life post Open Water Certification (first dive was at the Boiler under the watchful eye of my good friend, Dive Master Joel), I rolled off the back of an inflatable boat at Roca Partida. It was 3 minutes into the dive when a Whale Shark […]

Right now we are on Socorro island at Cabo Pierece (east point). We have been waiting and waiting for the Mantas and they finally arrived; this made everyone very happy! The previous day we were at Clarion Island which was a very good dive. We saw dolphins interacting and some people were snorkeling with the […]

And still in the evening, those huge tunas that scare everything away (including Galapagos […]
