This morning, we dove San Francisco´s Bajo or Jose´s bajo. We did 2 dives there. Arrived in the morning there and we passed on the top of the pinnacle searching it with the depth sounder.

Once we found the 60 ft in the sounder, we dropped lead with a buoy, one of the DGs jumped in the water to secure the buoy and confirm that it was the right place.

Weather was so nice, no wind and 1-2 ft swell from N.

Dives were good, lot of black coral, soft coral and lot of fish, bonitos, mackerel, sergeant and many other, DGs said it looked like Roca Partida without sharks. Viz was 25+ mts below 20 mts depth. Above 20 mts depth, was 15-20 mts. There was no current. Water temp was 27c.

Second dive was there as well and it was as good as the first one. Wind started to pick up from NNE during dive 2.
