Stingrays and Jacks – Revillagigedo Islands

, ,

The Revillagigedo (Socorro) Islands sit 400–500 miles offshore in the eastern Pacific and are protected as a national park. On this dive we logged stingrays over the reef and black jacks (Caranx lugubris) cruising the blue. Below are notes, conditions, and tips for filming fast-moving pelagics here.

FROM THE DEPTHS

The reefs off Dauin are known for producing some of the best macro encounters in the Philippines. Between the dark volcanic bottom and the sheer variety of life, even a single nudibranch can turn into a standout moment underwater. 🇵🇭 Hidden among the coral reefs off the coast of Dauin, this predator waits for its next meal.

    Did you see whale sharks in the Socorros?

      On this trip, we didn’t see any whale sharks. But I did get a few nice close up images of Hammerheads. So, I can’t complain.
