Location: Roca Partida, .2′ off anchored in 239′ of water
Weather: Overcast, Wind: 10-15 knots early subsiding to 8-12 knots at noon. 4-6 ‘ short period choppy swells at noon, some larger secondary swell in series (8′-9′)
Diving : Dive 1 was a little slower than past dives at Roca this past few weeks. The visibility was good 60-90′ Numerous fish including large feeding yellowfin tuna were sighted. The guests really enjoyed the yellowfin, and remarked on the size. There were numerous white tips on the balconies which also impressed the divers. W/T was reported as 26C, however several divers said it felt cooler, and the current was fairly mild from the north. Dive 2 was better than dive one, with the presence of a manta visiting the divers at safety stops, numerous shark species, such as silkies and a galapagos making appearances. The divers noted lobsters stacked one on another in the crevices and got some great pictures of the white tips on the balconies. the Vis was reported by some to be 50-60′ near the rock, and others 70-90’ away from the rock. yesterday afternoon dives were excellent at Cabo Pearce, with continued Manata presence on every dive. All guests and crew are happy.
