In April of 2007 the Nautilus Explorer took a group of dive explorers, scientists and underwater imagers from Mexico, the United States and Canada to the remote and uninhabited Clipperton Island located some 500 nautical miles off the coast of Acapulco, Mexico. Clipperton has a long and fascinating history, including two Scripps expeditions with research diving pioneer Conrad Limbaugh in the 1950s. In 1956, Connie Limbaugh described the sharks of Clipperton Island as so numerous and aggressive that researchers had to cut short their diving operation. Limbaugh returned in 1958 with a number of other scientists as part of the Scripps Doldrums Expedition, this time bringing with him shark cages in which to safely dive and study the sharks. In part one of this two-part podcast, Mary Lynn Price discusses some of the history of Conrad Limbaugh's visits to Clipperton Island in the 1950s and what the 2007 Nautilus Explorer expedition discovered diving the reefs of Clipperton for five days. Historic images and footage from the Limbaugh Collection at Scripps Archives, as well as rare 1958 news footage from San Diego's KFMB TV Channel 8, depict the Limbaugh expeditions in the 50s. Current underwater video and images by Mary Lynn Price, dive explorer Roberto Chavez Arce and nudibranch scientist Alicia Hermosillo show what the marine life of Clipperton Island is like today. What the divers find is abundant healthy coral, numerous small and medium-size fishes, a variety of colorful nudibranchs, and the beautiful endemic Clipperton Angelfish (Holacanthus limbaughi, named in honor of Conrad Limbaugh). However, the divers are struck by the sad reality of very few sharks--and old long-line from commercial long-line fishing criss-crossing the otherwise pristine reefs nearly everywhere they dived. Without conservation protection and enforcement, it is likely that the sharks of Clipperton Island will not have much of a future. For more information on the Nautilus Explorer, and to read the Clipperton entries in the Captain's Log, please visit www.NautilusExplorer.com. Part two of this two part podcast will include interviews with scientists, dive explorers and longtime fishermen about the issues facing the sharks of Clipperton Island, and what might be done to better protect them.
Cage diving with the Great White Sharks of Guadalupe Island off the coast of Baja Mexico is an all-time favorite with underwater imagers from all over the world. Mary Lynn Price and Chuck Nicklin present some of their high definition footage of these magnificent apex predators in this short music video. Stan Waterman joins them on this memorable adventure with the Guadalupe Greats.
Join us as we travel to the Kingdom of Tonga to swim with the endangered southern Humpback Whales. In Tonga, swimming with Humpback Whales is allowed under strict regulation. The Kingdom has foregone the old days of whaling for an approach to the whales based on respect and eco-tourism. Pioneer whale cinematographer, Chuck Nicklin, discusses his experiences diving with and filming the whales of Tonga as he shares footage from the recent expedition he led there to swim with the whales. Whale guide, Karen Varndell of Dive Vava'u talks about the Southern Humpbacks and the threats they face today from whaling and pollution. Whale guide Buluno Fifita describes his country's view of the importance of these magnificent animals, and what it was like for him the first time he swam with them. Longtime underwater videographer, Roger Norman, tells what it's like to come eye to eye with a young Humpback as he shares some of his footage of that incredible encounter. Interviews and additional whale footage by Mary Lynn Price and Steve Perez. As Iceland resumes openly hunting endangered Fin Whales in violation of international restrictions, and Japan readies to illegally hunt endangered Fin and Humpback Whales in the Antarctic Whale Sanctuary, this podcast reminds us of the beauty and intelligence of these animals, and the importance of protecting them.

"Squid Run!" (Part 2) concludes our two-part series with Dr. John McGowan discussing the strange life cycle of this species, the ocean predators that take advantage of the mass squid spawning events, those red worms that appear in the squid egg beds, and amazing baby squid! Baby Squid footage includes Lance Milbrand's beautiful close-ups of squid larvae inside the eggs, baby squid hatching and swimming off. Also featured is incredible microscopic footage of squid larvae originally produced by Leslee Matsushige of the Birch Aquarium, John Moore of Divebums.com and Mary Lynn Price. Marty Snyderman's wonderful footage and images of Rays and Blue Shark that feast on all the squid, and Bob Bayer's footage of Lobster, Sheepcrab and Scorpionfish feeding on squid give a sense of all the ocean animals that take advantage of the mass spawning events. Bob Gladden's images of those strange red worms round out the scene of animals often seen among the egg cases. Mary Lynn Price's underwater footage opens and closes this episode, as she documents a 2001 Squid Run, featuring diver Stephie Vierkotter experiencing her first Squid Run.
