Hello everyone, yesterday, visibility improved a bit, and the manta rays were much easier to spot. They stayed with the divers for quite a while. Then came the Street Taco Night under a starry sky. We anchored in Cayon and had a peaceful night.

Today, we started with two dives. Initially, visibility was a bit poor, but it gradually improved, dropping to around 8-10 meters. By the second dive, it was at 15 meters. We hope it continues to improve for the next few dives. Nevertheless, we were able to see three chevron manta rays, a school of 15 hammerhead sharks, a couple of Galapagos sharks, silky sharks everywhere, and several sizable octopuses.

We plan to do two more dives this afternoon and then set sail for Roca Partida.
