What a Week!

This was my third Nautilus Liveaboard trip and perhaps the one I was most looking forward to. Although I got to see an entire Great White Shark breach from head to tail in the air in Guadalupe, and a pod of orcas kill and EAT a whale shark in the Sea of Cortez, I had […]

Captain’s Noon Reports – Explorer – 2022-06-09

Once we finished with the 1st dive we picked up the anchor and we departed to the Boiler. The 2nd dive was awesome, is going to be hard to get a better one. Why? because 2 huge reasons, one giant black manta, and a huge whale shark were hanging around the rock, and they stayed there for a while. Most of our guests were coming out of the water singing ‘we saw a whale shark’ with a big smile in their faces.

Upon negative entry on the last dive, I looked down and saw it. A whale shark. I was excited, my heart was pounding in happiness, I used 1500psi so fast. I told myself to calm down or I would use my air fast. The whale shark circled Roca Partida five times during our dive with such grace and effortless swimming. BEST. DAY. EVER. –

Captain’s Noon Reports – UnderSea – 2022-03-15

By the end of the second dive, they had a school of at least 50 hammerheads, but before that when they got in the water a pod of dolphins came around on the surface no one saw them underwater but the story goes that I was thinking they were all dolphins but as they came closer I could see that round head, FALSE KILLER WHALES!!! I am giving a wild guess but I think they were after one of the dolphins, sad but is just nature.
