We just departed from las Animas 20 min ago and we were heading SW to San Jose Island and already spotted 3-4 fin whales eating. Guests are getting ready to board the pangas and depart to jump in with the fin whales.
We arrived this morning to Las Animas, we did 2 dives there. Everyone liked the sea lions. First dive was in the Moro Norte; we were searching for the hammerheads but visibility below 20 mts was bad 5-8 mts. But there were a lot of different kind of fishes, octopus and sea lions.
Second dive was in la Lobera, was a good dive, visibility wasn’t good 10-15 mts. Lots of playful and chill sea lions, all of different sizes. They had a great morning.
This afternoon we will continue searching for whales in our way to San Francis Quito Island. We will do a night dive there at El Callo and tomorrow morning last dive at la Lobera, then we will start searching south to Espiritu Santo.
Yesterday afternoon we found a pod of common dolphins near Punta coyote, and then we went to Swanee rock for a snorkel. We spotted some more dolphins near Bonanza Bay in Espiritu Santo and some single spread mobulas around,
Seas were like a mirror and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset.
