It is the second time in my life to be so fortunate to see these majestic beasts during a dive. Later that day, I saw a big 12ft long tiger shark that cruised right past us and checked us out calmly.

Early in our dive appeared our first chevron manta ray. Positioned close to the surface, we watched its silhouette in the morning sun above. After about five minutes, it decided to move on and swim out into the blue to explore other areas of the dive site and so did we.

They came straight for us and hung out for about five minutes playing with our bubbles and looking at us. There were seven of them altogether.

It was our second dive of the day and the visibility was about 50ft. We could even see the topography of the reef from the skiff so, of course, we were expecting a great dive and it most definitely was.

We saw tunas, bonitos and jacks of all different species. There were whitetip sharks all over the place. Silvertip and Galapagos sharks were cruising around, which was a beautiful sight.

The Boiler gave us friendly dolphins and more manta rays. Socorro Island was another amazing experience but Roca Partida brought us the whale shark and all kinds of marine life.

Since the moment I opened my eyes this morning I have enjoyed so many beautiful things. From the sun rising over this magnetic island to the sun setting; causing the calm ocean to glisten before the twinkling stars appear in the sky.
