Antarctica with Amos Nachoum

The greatest explorers of all time helped discover
Antarctica, the last continent, and the most daring adventures took place onboard sailboats in reaching the South Pole. To this day, very few people have gone scuba diving here by large cruise ships, and only a handful will ever reach the remote reefs and unexplored bays and waters that we will reach with the specially designed sailboat, the 74’ Pelagic Australis and her dedicated crew.

We have budgeted 12-14 days of diving, two dives per day, including land exploration of noisy and colorful penguins colonies, research stations, past explorer huts and remote extraordinary vistas of glaciers and bays, which no other vessel can or will visit.

The diving experience will coincide with the prime time to see Leopard seals ambush and prey on adult penguins. We will search for stranding blue icebergs and dive safely around them. We will dive on reefs that are free of ice and discover the wonder of the flora and fauna that thrive in 28ºF of water—absolutely mind-bending forms and colors.

This departure is also dedicated to two more specialties for rebreather divers. Onboard is O2 and scrubber. Underwater photographers will benefit from Amos Nachoum’s (Master of BigAnimals Photography) first hand coaching.
