Just unexplainable how these animals get so close to us and invite you to tickle them! Whale shark, school of scalloped Hammerheads, 2x great Hammerheads, jacks, […]

50+ sharks at The Rock

By Nautilus Staff on January 16th, 2018 in Crew, Socorro

Challenging conditions at Roca Partida put our skills to test. We jumped in visibility was good and current was strong. Lots of action around the northern tip of “the rock”. When rifting south we have seen so many sharks, at least 50 plus. Crazy to see a huge number of sharks and all of a […]

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 […]

We are at Cabo Pearce. It is just amazing how in a very small area we can find so much diversity of sea life. We started our dive in the NW part of the lava finger, and the current hit us a bit, so we got down and got some protection as we moved SW, […]
