Captain’s Noon Reports – Under Sea – 2026-01-03

Anchor in 245Ft of water, is a beautiful day, however the weather conditions are getting worse, there is a swell from the NW 6Ft in height with a long period, wind from the NW at 16kts and the wind is creating this wind waves that are the ones making things hard for everyone.

Our skiffs are really getting beat up and at times it look like they are going to break in half, air temperature is 80F, ocean today is 76F, visibility averages 60Ft, east side getting a greenish upwelling and receiving the current running to the west.

The diving is amazing they say, tons of sharks, mantas everywhere, tunas in number very few times we see and the cherry on top of this natural cake is the 30ft whale shark.

In the first dive almost everyone got to see it, DGs tell me this fish was playing between the cold upwelling and the warmer water in the west side, it made few loops for the guests to then disappeared in the immense blue water.

We have all hands on deck keeping things safe not under control as the surge is doing whatever it wants with us, we just play along, time waves, guests, fins, cameras and more just to keep everyone safe.

Forecast is a bit off as weather was supposed to improve a little during the day but is worsen. Sky partly cloudy.

Guests and crew doing good
