We arrived at The Canyon last night around 2300 already anchored and planning to dive there. We made a tentative plan to do our checkout dive at Fondeadero and then move to the boiler for dives 2-4. The check-out dive at Fondeadero was perfect for our divers to get accustomed to the operation and figure out their weights, etc. There was no current and visibility was around 50′. There was at least one manta sighted as well as some Galapagos sharks. It wasn’t amazing, but divers enjoyed themselves. As soon as divers were out of the water we got underway and relocated to The Boiler. We have done one dive here so far, and the divers loved it. The current was very mild from the south and visibility varied between 50-80′ with some hazy patches. There were at least three mantas at the site, with some of them giving great shows to our divers. So far it is a great start to our first day of diving! The plan is for two more dives here and then we will shift back to Canyon to anchor for the night and dive there tomorrow.

Read Moreoday we started our dive day at 0700 diving Fondeadero for the warm-up dive we could see three hammerheads at the beginning of the dive, some Galapagos and two dolphins but not as close as we wished, no current, then we moved to the Boiler for the 2nd dive, three chevron mantas and one black manta during the whole dive with our guests but the beauty of this is that we were watching the mantas while the whales were singing, unfortunately, we could not see them but it was beautiful.
Read MoreWe completed two more great dives yesterday at Cabo Pearce. Dolphins were sighted on dive one and mantas were present the entire day.
Read MoreThe guests are relaxing around the vessel sunbathing editing photos and having some cold beers. They seem very happy overall with the trip and really every day really has offered something different than the last. Not really any slow days as every site has delivered this week.
Read MoreThe first two dives have been fantastic. Visibility is over 100 feet and wildlife is here to play. On dive one divers saw a large tiger shark, three mantas, and dolphins, as well as some hammerheads. Dive two had at least two friendly mantas and more tiger shark sightings. The guests are loving the topography and the calm boardings.
Read MoreWe are anchored at Punta Tosca and the conditions are very favorable with calm seas, light winds. There are cloudy skies with blue sky patches and surface visibility is very clear. We have done two dives at Punta Tosca and today it was really good. In the first dive, all the groups saw dolphins up to around 20 with five of them coming right in and playing with some of the divers.
