Today for our last day of diving Belle is at San Benedicto. We had a great day at Roca yesterday and an easy, comfy transit to San Ben overnight.
Today’s weather is nice, light northerly breeze, a long silky swell, and maybe 2 to 3′ swell from the NW, partly cloudy.
We started the day with 2 dives at the Canyon. The first dive was really good with a school of hammerheads coming close to both groups even coming up shallow close to them. One group also had a manta coming around to play with them, plus some oceanic black tips and silkies at the cleaning station. The second dive is a little quieter, and viz quite low due to the swell. Water temp 26C at the surface but has a sharp thermocline down to 22C at depth. Viz around 6-9m. After the second dive, we moved to the Boiler, and the first dive there was excellent, with a Tiger shark and a couple of mantas around, plus great viz around 80ft, water temp 26C. Just finishing up the second dive at the Boiler now.
