From mid-May to July, thousands of Mobula Rays aggregate in the deep south of the Sea of Cortez, and Nautilus Dive Adventures is excited to unveil a new expedition to witness the Mobula migration first-hand aboard the Nautilus Gallant Lady, for a special Scuba Fest price of $2,995.

We’ve been plying the Sea of Cortez since 1974 and know some of the best, secret spots for unique animal encounters. On this week-long voyage on the Gallant Lady, experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to snorkel and free dive with Mobula rays and predatory pods of orcas. Our expert pilot and master aerial spotter will scan the seas from above and maximize your time with this magnificent migration.

Aside from mingling with Mobulas and Orcas, witness huge pods of dolphins and even the possibility of sperm and fin whales. Mobula rays often like to breach the surface, so there will be ample opportunity to witness these gravity-defying acrobatics out of the water, whether while sipping on an icy beverage on deck or getting up close and personal on a kayak. This is the perfect trip for both divers and snorkelers.

This week-long adventure will tick off the best of Baja’s wildlife, including:
– Swim and freedive with Mobula rays and orcas in the deep south of the Sea of Cortez
– One-day diving at Cabo Pulmo National Park, home to over 6,000 marine species. Finish the day enjoying a barbecue on the beach before we set sail for Cabo San Lucas.
