The last two days of diving has been epic. The wild dolphin interaction is the best in the world. There is no place that you can consistently have wild bottle nose dolphins come up to initiate contact with divers. Dolphins were swimming right up to the cameras and touching the lens of go pros and dome ports. the dolphins came from the current and turned around into the current and rested right above the rocks right in the middle of our divers while they were slowly kicking within inches of our guests. It is a once in a life time experience and it continues to happen where dolphins stay and play with our dive groups for 15 to 20 minutes, if not the entire dive. Today on the second dive we had two more dolphins passing through the guests again like they were part of the group.There is no hype or sensationalism, it is quite incredible what we get to experience here not to mention, there were six mantas swimming through our divers today. Looping, swimming in a line formation following one another for the entire dive. For two dives this morning it was shear magic. Most divers were in awe. “Ridiculous, amazing and unbelievable” were just some of the words to express the encounters with the marine life today. There are a few divers asking where is the next dive going to be but the Belle Amie, Quino are at Canyon with the Valentina just joined us during lunch time here at the Boiler. We are going to do one more early afternoon dive here at the Boiler then move to Canyon for our last dive to hopefully see some more hammer heads and a tiger shark. The conditions here are not bad. Swell coming from WNW is very manageable which the ENE winds have been pushing the boat a little sideways to the swell. We did a tour around the rocks after breakfast and almost all guests went so we took two boats.
