Yesterday at the last dive of the trip our sister boat Explorer warned us as they left the Boiler on their way to Cabo. They had just passed by a bunch of debris with possibly a turtle entangled and asked us if we could help it. I left with one of the tenders to check […]

Das Tauchen in Socorro hat all unsere Erwartungen uebertroffen – und sie waren nicht zu tief angesetzt nach all den tollen Videos, die wir im Vorfeld gesehen haben. Jeder Tauchgang war ein neues Highlight: Whale Sharks, verspielte Mantas, Delfine, Hammerhead Sharks und vieles mehr! Die Frage ist immer: Was soll ich nun anschauen, die Mantas […]

Here on the Nautilus Explorer each day starts with the normal dive briefing, go here, look for that, get out of the water with this PSI… but nothing can prepare you for the heart racing experience of being face to face with a whale shark. Looking this gentle giant in the eye. Nothing in the […]

We have just finished our last dive at Roca Partida – wow! As usual, the giant mantas put on an acrobatic display, gliding over our bubbles and circling back again and again. A whale shark cruised by and we all checked it’s spots to see if it was the same one that we saw yesterday […]

Easily the best day of diving I have experienced in a long long time – dozens of sharks, scalloped hammerheads, galapagos sharks, a few silvertip sharks, a whale shark, oceanic manta rays, tuna, wahoo, jacks and much much more all jostling for position around a tiny fleck of rock in the middle of nowhere – […]

I began to dive when I was 13 years old, and today’s dive was the best so far. I was lucky enough to see school of hammerhead shark passing by our group in crystal clear visibility, and even whale sharks eventually showed up close to surface and below us while we were looking for manta. […]
