We could hear the sounds Belugas were making even when we weren't underwater. We'd submerge our faces into the cold water they'd appear around us. It was exciting to hear them before seeing them. I hope you watch the video I posted yesterday. There's nothing like hearing the incredible sounds they produce and seeing their curiosity. This is one of the last images I took capturing our two worlds colliding.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to come face to face with a Beluga Whale? The water may have been murky and challenging with haloclines creating a blur at times but being able to hear the pod coming before I could see them was exhilarating. They'd come right up to investigate us and their curiosity is beyond words. These are intelligent animals that are social and extremely vocal. Make sure your sound is on to hear the sounds they make.

Adult Belugas are white but they're born gray. Some of the females would bring their calves around to us over and over again. A few decided to put their melon head up against the camera and others zipped by and playfully opened their mouths.

I was amazed when they'd swim by and turn their heads to look us right in the eye. We were surrounded by dozens of belugas at times and they seemed just as interested in us as we are in them. I hope you enjoy the video. Make sure your sound is on!

Beluga Whales are some of the most vocal animals in the oceans which is why they are known as Canaries of the Sea. Make sure you have the sound on while you watch…

What an indescribable day with Beluga Whales. We had so many playful and curious juveniles that were so fascinated with the camera and the zodiac. This one gave me some lip! I can't really describe how it feels to see Belugas face to face. They might be one of my favorite marine mammals now. The way they move, the way a calf holds onto its mother and their curiosity is very special.

We have a few spaces left for our November 19-30th Antarctica Adventure to Snow Hill. This trip includes helicopters out to Snow Hill where we'll be searching for Emperor Penguins and their photogenic chicks! This isn't offered on any other trips we do so it's very special and has to be done in November! We'll travel into the Weddell sea past amazing icebergs and other wildlife including whales, seals and a large variety of seabirds and other penguin species. Emperor Penguins are the largest species of penguin and this colony is the furtherest north to find them. Join me on this really exciting and memorable Antarctica trip.

It's about 90f degrees today and I'm thinking about the cool iceberg dives we did back in February in Antarctica. I was diving with Lee Rosenberg on his first iceberg and decided to make that 29f degree water feel a little more "tropical" by pulling out a lei. He wore it well don't you think? There's not fun in cold water diving! WHAT! That's not true!

Did you know penguin dads are some of the most devoted dads in the Animal kingdom. Females will lay eggs then go out to sea to hunt. Female penguins like to choose chubbier mates so they have more incubating area. These are King Penguins and they do not build nests, instead they stand upright and incubate a single egg on the tops of their feet. A loose abdominal fold can cover the egg to keep it warm. In these photos behind the cute fluffy chick you can see an egg being tended. Penguins are amazing birds.

Dive gear set up for Dive & Snorkel Antarctica You must be scuba certified, drysuit certified and have over 30 drysuit dives to dive on a trip. This is the rule and also it's to set you up for success in having the best trip possible! You have to own your own drysuit and dive gear. The ship will provide the tanks and weights. This is the set up we use. We can help you with this! If you're a diver but don't own a drysuit or can't get the time dives in then we do offer snorkeling. We will also provide the drysuit and undergarments for you as part of the trip! No experience is needed. I've gotten some of my best experiences in the snorkel zone with seals, penguins and playing around icebergs. Contact us for more info and check out the video below. (Becky)

Hi everyone! I created this group because there are a lot of Antarctica Travel groups on facebook but they don't specialize in Diving and Snorkeling on those expeditions. I've been working with Faith Ortins and Blue Green Expeditions for a long time now and we've partnered up to create amazing trips of a lifetime to Antarctica. I want this to be a place to ask questions, learn, grow and hopefully plan your future trip to Antarctica. Oh yeah, we do take non divers too! Everyone with a good attitude and sense of adventure is welcome! One of my best friends Kitrina Godding also comes along and co-leads on a lot of expeditions and i'm sure you'll see her chime in!

Here are some underwater images of ice, wildlife and things you might see underwater in Antarctica. I personally love snorkeling because that's where i've seen penguins, seals and jumped off icebergs!

NEW TRIP ADDED! ANTARCTICA : EMPEROR PENGUINS
NOVEMBER 19-30TH 2024

During this Antarctica Adventure we will go in search of the Emperors! Join Becky Schott in partnership with Blue Green Expeditions to one of our favorite places on earth, Antarctica. There are only 2 trips a season that take a trip to Snow Hill Island where there are estimated 4000 breeding pairs of Emperor Penguins. At this time of year, the chicks will be active and extremely photogenic! We don’t typically see Emperor Penguins on our other Antarctica expeditions, so this is truly a unique adventure. Experience the bird’s-eye-view of Antarctica! Our helicopter capability on m/v Ortelius gives you the rare chance to see the famed emperor penguin rookery south of Snow Hill Island. Heavy ice may prevent entrance to this area from the Weddell Sea, and ice at the rookery itself might break up and start to melt earlier than expected. With this in mind, the aim is to stop the vessel between the Antarctic Sound and James Clark Ross Island, close to the ice edge, and find emperor penguins on their way to open water. The thrilling helicopter flights make this search possible, enabling you to land in locations otherwise inaccessible this early in the season.
