We spent the last day of the trip at the Boiler located at San Benedicto Island. A perfect weather conditions sunny, no current, great visibility, shallow dives that Our divers spend an hour dive with the majestic mantas. We were surrounded by 4 mantas 3 to 4 ft away incredible dance. Water temperature was 74 F.

Then 3 majestic giant mantas came along and we stopped to dance with them. I knew that by stopping, the current would push us away from the divesite, along the north face of the finger, which is a beautiful wall that drops down to a sandy bottom at about 35meters. But the mantas were so playful and curious with us that I did not want to stop the enjoyment. We drifted for a good 20 minutes with the manta, then we saw a hammerhead at the bottom and a couple of sharks and up we went.

We spend the last two day at Roca Partida. Great dives. We had a lot of current, but because of that reason we had a lot of sharks around. We had a lot of Galapagos Sharks and Silver tips on every dive. Also we had some big Mantas swimming around the rock.

Socorro gave us a tiger shark at Punta Tosca and some dolphins but the canyon at san benedicto gave us hammerheads, mantas and another big tiger shark but this one was more curious and a lot of us where able to see him…

The highlight of the day were by far the Humpback Whales. They were everywhere!! We saw a mum and calf swimming trough the protected bay and several more could be observed from the Explorer and also from the skiffs on the way to and from the dive site. And their singing was with us the whole dives sounding loud and beautiful.

On the first dive, the checkout dive, we had some awesome encounters with 3 different Chevron Mantas and total of 4 Hammerheads and of course the usual things like Lobsters, Whitetip sharks and lots of Stingrays. On the second dive we started at Manta Rock. As soon as we got down there was a playful Chevron Manta. While we were looking at is another one showed up to check us out.

The second dive here at Punta Tosca started out shallow on the most beautiful reef I have seen, full of all kinds of colorful reef fish and big coral heads. Once we headed out a little deeper we encountered a school of hundreds of bicolor parrot fish…
