An Explosion of Marine Life at the Socorro Islands
Read MoreAll groups enjoyed several mantas, a school of about fifty hammerheads came out of the blue into The Canyon, and as usual the cleaning station did not disappoint with a parade of mantas, dolphins, juvenile silvertips and Galapagos all at once.

Dolphins and more at the Boiler!
Read MoreWe started the trip at the Boiler and only in this one site we already saw a pod of 12 playful dolphins, chevron and black mantas, hammerhead shark, silky shark, Galapagos, tons of white tip sharks, a silver tip in the distance, and this is all just in one day!

Tuna, Hammerhead and Silvertip Sharks Galore but Where’s the Giant Mantas???
Read MoreThere was a coldwater current running past the island steadily for the whole two days, and with it came excellent visibility and a great amount of hammerhead, silky, Galapagos, whitetip, and silvertip sharks. That’s on top of the friendly wahoo, the massive schools of tuna, the unique photographing opportunity of a moray eel wrapped comfortably around resting whitetip sharks, and big schools of triggerfish, big-eyed trevally, jacks, and other familiar faces.

Silky Sharks Swimming in the Moonlight
Read MoreTwo whale sharks. One was the size of a bus! 45 – 50 feet long and a little brother of maybe 21 feet. We also got visitedby giant manta rays. It was a good start and we had the whale sharks around the rock for the rest of the day. We also saw whitetip reef sharks of course but just a few Galapagos and silvertip sharks – likely because of the relatively warm water?! A good day. At night with no moon we were surrounded by about a 50 silky sharks chasing flying fish in the floodlights of the Nautilus Explorer.
