Not only did we have friendly manta encounters, but we also had some dolphins and hammerhead sharks stop by to make an appearance.

After this amazing dive, we moved to The Boiler where we had more giant manta rays, Galapagos sharks and on the last dive of the day we saw dolphins!

Galapagos sharks, silvertips and whitetips swimming around the rock. Some 400lb yellowfin tuna and school of skipjacks.

And to top off the critter lottery, we also had a very large octopus play with us for quite some time. Did I mention the crazed tuna weighing in at 400-500 pounds?

It was only the hard work of the crew that made my experience possible, upon their broad shoulders I stood regarding the improbably beautiful images of mantas, dolphins, hammerheads, silky and countless other species the simple sweat of the crew made it possible for me to see.

They were swarming the dive site, passing by from north and south sides of the rock. There were two males and one female; an unbelievable sight to see.

Right away on the first dive we had a manta playing with the group for more than half of the dive. So far we have seen manta rays on every dive. We have also seen all common sharks the archipelago has to offer, Galapagos, whitetips, silvertips, scalloped hammerhead sharks and even blacktip sharks.
