Location: The Canyon, San Benedicto Island, Socorro, Mexico
Windy 8 foot seas open ocean but sheltered with low swell at theΒ Canyon it was calm. a bit cloudy , but clear in the evening.
We started off from The Canyon ,and had lots of mantas around the boat right from the start.Β So it let us make the choice to stay atΒ Β the Canyon the whole day. For some of us we did the typical thing,Β Dove around all the cleaningstations had a few Hammerheads and well back under the boat there we met the giant mantas that one of ourΒ guestsΒ “dragged” home from their dive. It happens so often at the Canyon that a manta ray or two has followed some divers back to theΒ boat and there is where we get the best interaction with them. TheΒ last dive was really nice. Sun was shining giving this beatifulΒ light, not the best for photographers but gives aΒ nice atmosphere.Β We got hammerheads out on the cleaningstation and a manta just slowly passed infront of our noses. Β A couple of juvenile silvertips and lots of Jacks. Nice start of theΒ trip. Lead divemaster Sten.
