Location: The Canyon and The Boiler, San Benedicto Island, Socorro, Baja California, Mexico
This morning we got up there were dolphins swimming around the Nautilus Explorer and some of us where already in the water snorkeling with the dolphins before the pre-breakfast snack/continental breakfast at 0700.The first dive was really good. We had dolphins, hammerhead sharks and some also played with giant pacific mantas. Great dive!
We decided to move up to The Boiler any way as we had not dived there this trip and we saw….nothing. Aarrgghh. That is typical of big animal diving. You never know quite where the animals are going to be or when you are going to see them. High Expectations and nothing! So we went back to The Canyon , had sharks and some giant manta rays again. We where very happy for an beautiful very rich trip. Sadly today is our last day and it was time to steam back to civilisation again. Sten.
