Weather: Water temp 75F Vis 20-30ft
Status: At Anchor at The Boiler. 120 ft deep.

This morning at the Boiler. Amazing as always! One dive so far and currently doing the second dive. First dive’s visibility wasn’t great – water was kind of green – and further down visibility was around 20-30 ft, BUT what was amazing were the mantas! Rodolfo counted 5 Chevrons and 3 Black mantas. You could clearly see how happy all divers were as soon as they were coming out of water. These mantas were really playful and stayed close to the divers, I even heard some of them saying this was the “best dive ever”. Carolina said she could see one hammerhead, but the main attraction were the mantas. Waiting for divers to come back to the boat and see how great their second dive was. Yesterday at Roca Partida, Dives became slow by the afternoon. A few Galapagos sharks and some hammerheads, one manta and 3 really big tunas were spotted. Humpback whales showed up at the surface again, about half mile from the boat. We offered a whale watching ride in the skiffs, but as we approached around 50 mts the whales submersed. We spotted them again but a little bit further, some guests were able to take some pictures of them.
