I really missed this place: for me it is the number one place for diving and interacting with the mantas, dolphins and sharks.

The Boiler gives it all!

Playful dolphins for the entire dive, and a couple of chevron mantas slowly getting cleaned by clarions were spotted close to the rock. Even a whale shark, swam from the depth to the shallowest area of the Boiler.

Just when we were wondering how it could get any better… our eyes adjust looking out into the blue water as the famous spots of the largest fish in the ocean appear. A school bus of a giant female *WHALESHARK!!* cruises past us, only to be followed by a couple chevron and black manta rays.

After my safety stop a big manta showed up. She interacted with me for a couple minutes and I had a special moment with her, when we saw each others eyes!!

Second dive of the day, we saw two beautiful hammerhead sharks among about ten Galapagos sharks. Visibility was incredible.

After our inspection at the navy base in Socorro Island, we were heading to Punta Tosca to do the silky snorkel. Some of the guests and myself were on the bow watching dolphins play with the boat.

Between the impressive passes around Manta Rock and “mantastic” safety stops in the blue, no diver was left out on the manta sightings for our first day.
