Events for August 22 - September 29, 2022

Let's do some exploring onboard the Nautilus Gallant Lady! Cabo Pulmo is always magical with massive schools of fish and incredibly healthy reefs in the national park. During this time of year, huge schools of mobula rays can be found in the area as well as the orcas that are hunting them. The dance of the mobulas is an intense experience. Hundreds of mobula rays swimming alongside each other and leaping high in the air is an experience you will never forget. This trip will combine scuba diving and free diving to maximize your opportunities to see this amazing phenomenon. The Sea of Cortez is also known for its incredible amount of schooling fish, hundreds of groupers, jacks, many species of sharks and plenty of sea lions! Come join us!

Blue Green Expeditions will be running a new transition trip in Indonesia with muck diving, coral reefs and Big Fish! We will be onboard the luxurious Raja Ampat Aggressor cruising from one beautiful location to the next! This off the beaten path itinerary includes the best of “the Coral Triangle”, the richest coral reef ecosystem in the world that contains at least 500 species of reef-building corals and additional species of soft and encrusting corals all contributing to the vibrant, rainbow of colors in the region's crystal clear waters.

Blue Green Expeditions is headed to the Derawan Islands onboard the Raja Aggressor! The islands are located off the eastern coast of Borneo in Indonesia in the Celebes Sea. They are part of the Coral Triangle and one of the most biodiverse places in the world. Derawan is an archipelago with the main islands being Derawan, Maratua, Kakaban and Sangalaki, forming small and remote atolls with sandy banks. The diving offers abundant marine life with a huge variety of coral reef dives, caves, walls, and lagoons, including a jellyfish lake visit. Guests will see sharks, schooling barracudas, mantas, whalesharks and macro life. Derawan also contains the largest green turtle nesting site in Indonesia, making dives with turtles quite common. To make this expedition even more spectacular we are coupling this adventure with an optional add-on to Lembeh - home to some of the best muck diving in the world! Come join us!!

Join Blue Green Expeditions for an exciting shore based expedition to Bergen, Norway. This can also be an add on trip prior to the Spitsbergen expedition! The beautiful and historic city of Bergen is often called "The gateway to the fjords". The rugged and beautiful archipelago to the west of the city offers great opportunities for divers. Here the famous Norwegian fjords meet the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, creating a varied underwater world with steep drop offs and canyons, amazing kelp forests, sandy coves and exiting reefs teeming with life. Bergen's history as Norway's most important port city has also resulted in a number of interesting ship wrecks in and around its shipping lanes. Some of the wrecks we can dive are the August Bolten, a German freight ship form WW2. Resting on shelves and caught in cracks are several pieces of war equipment including cannons, trailers, motorbikes and tank engines. Other wrecks include the Helene Jensen, the R56, the Siggen and the Oldenburg. The Oldenburg was built in 1914 and bombed and sunk during WW2. This beautiful steamship is very well preserved and a highlight of our trip. If that isn’t enough, we will be staying at the Panorama Hotel which offers unlimited shore diving at its house reef.

You may see spinner dolphins, hawksbill sea turtles,manta rays, many different species of sharks, groupers and maybe even whale sharks!

Jacques Cousteau and John Steinbeck saw the magic that the Sea of Cortez has to offer. Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez “the worlds aquarium.” John Steinbeck wrote "The Log of the Sea of Cortez" a journey through a remote and beautiful corner of the world, a diary filled with the daily excitements and triumphs of skillful and energetic men. It is also an invitation to see the world anew from a fresh vantage point and perhaps with a broader and more understanding spirit. Come explore the Sea of Cortez, home to an amazing array of wild life above and below the water line, with Blue Green Expeditions aboard the Nautilus Gallant Lady!!
