Overnight we made the crossing to Roca Partida where we spent two days diving with whitetip reef sharks, tons of schooling fish, silky sharks, Galapagos sharks hanging deep, random hammerhead sharks out in the blue and a couple of whale sharks gracing us over both days.

I have enjoyed peak experiences aboard the Belle Amie, such as my first encounter with great white sharks. Here, on this adventure, a solo encounter with a whale shark (which I was able to film at length) has beat all my previous experiences with whale sharks.

Although challenging at times for someone of my experience, the diving has provided experiences I will always remember. Comfortable berths and excellent food and service have made this the trip of a lifetime.

As our dive was coming to an end, the dolphins stayed with us as we started to ascend. My heart was so happy! I just wish I had my underwater camera.

We have seen a great abundance of manta rays at Cabo Pearce and The Boiler, having as many as five manta rays swimming with us at any one time. We see sharks everywhere, tuna, large schools of fish and even the tiny nudibranch.
