Dive the Socorros Islands with the Scubabros on the Nautilus Belle Amie.
This is an awesome dive trip for those that want to truly experience what it is to live at sea and experience the large marine animals that freely roam the world's largest natural marine park.
When: Dec 2nd-11th, 2023. Boarding boat Dec 3rd.
Airline: TBD out of OKC.
Description:
Experience Manta Love
The behavior these giant mantas exhibit is almost inexplicable. These gentle giants with a wingspan up to 20 feet consistently approach divers for intimate eye-to-eye encounters. If you are able to be calm and still in the water, you are almost sure to experience what we call “manta love.”
Loads of sharks
You may also see up to 10 varieties of shark: schooling scalloped hammerheads, solitary giant hammerheads, Galápagos, whitetip reef, silver-tip, silky, tiger and oceanic whitetips. The list also includes whale sharks and dusky sharks and on occasion even a thresher shark.
There is more
Your journey with us will include four dives per day (subject to weather and unforeseeable circumstances)—each an opportunity to encounter resident pods of playful dolphins.

Sample Itinerary:
Day 1:
Fly out of Okc to Cabo. Move to Tesoro Los Cabos for the first night.
Day 2:
Check out dive and check in for the trip. Boarding the vessel approximately 7pm.
Day 3:
Traveling and relaxing day at sea. It is a one day run out to the islands. An orientation briefing will be held in the morning, followed by a fire and boat safety drill.
Day 4-8:
Over five full dive days you will be able to experience some of our favourite sites such as El Canyon, the Boiler, Red Rocks, Roca Partida, Cabo Pearse, Punta Tosca and Roca Oneal. We know that many of our guests want the option of as many dives as possible and we strive to offer an average of 4 dives a day, other than the day that we do our mandatory check-in at the local navy base when you will likely have the option of 3 dives plus our world-famous silky shark night snorkel.
Day 9:
We will likely get underway very early this morning for the voyage back to Cabo San Lucas.
Day 10:
Always a sad time for us. It’s time to say goodbye and disembark the boat in Cabo at 8:30 am for either SJD airport or our dive center in Cabo San Lucas.
