In one moment we are completely engulfed in a school of cottonmouth jacks, the next moment, black trevally and large yellowtail charge through and split the school to find a meal. And the tuna… holy mackerel, the tuna!! Yellowfin tuna so healthy, you don’t realize just how big they are until they come close and dwarf the silvertip sharks next to you. Absolute perfection!

After sailing 411 nautical miles from Rocas Alijos, where we did two dives we finally arrived at Roca Partida. My favorite Dive Spot!! The water was warm, 26 degrees on the surface, and we could leave the 7mm wetsuits on the boat, one diver wore only a thin lavacore jacket. During the only dive we […]

The Thrill and The Calm

By Nautilus Staff on July 4th, 2017 in Guests, Socorro

As we swam into the deep blue surrounding the strange outcrop called La Roca Partida, I was filled with a strange combination of thrill and calm. You know, the calm you feel as the water gently rushes past, and the sound of your breath as the bubbles escape up towards the surface. The faint crackling […]

I had a spectacular trip to the islands around Socorro, and in a large part due to the entire crew of the Belle Amie. One divemaster in particular, Damian, made my diving a great experience while in the water. His enthusiasm for diving and life in general makes me smile every time I see him […]

Just a sweet and nice early morning as we left the dock in Ensenada 4 days ago to start this Great White expedition. Just a little foggy and as we headed out there was a line straight across where the fog just disappeared. Just after that the sun started to rise over Ensenada and watching […]

Four dives today at Roca Partida. Strong current around the rock. First dive I wasted way too much energy (and air) fighting the current. Smarter on the second dive and even smarter on the third dive, that was the best. Hit on a school of 30+ Galapagos (or so someone says) sharks (10 footers). They […]
