Yesterday afternoon we did a dive at Salvatierra and then another at Suwanee to finish the day. They were good dives but the viz was relatively low. The storm seems to have brought some cold, green water with it. I ran south overnight to Frailes and anchored at 0700 this morning. The two pangas arrived on time at 0830 and all divers were away by 0900.
Read MoreTwo dives were completed this morning at Los Islotes and guests enjoyed them very much with lots of young, playful sea lion pups surrounding the divers, also some big polarized schools of sardines, as well as snappers, groupers, and jawfish in the sand.
Read MoreTwo dives are done so far and both are very good. Some playful sea lions around, some big schools of fish, and one group saw the hammerheads on the second dive. DM Sebastian counted around 50 hammerheads. After dive 2 we went offshore about a mile and found a huge pod of bottlenose dolphins and everyone spent around 20 minutes snorkeling with them before we headed back for lunch. So, having a great day here so far.
Read MoreAs soon as we had clearance we left for San Rafaelito. Just wrapping up our first dive and planning to head to La Reina now for 2nd dive and then we’ll do a night dive at La Reinita. Later tonight we’ll head up to Las Animas.
Read MoreYesterday after we finished with our night dive at the Corralito, we departed to Las Animas, everything was good but in the middle of the early morning around 0430 am started raining, the wind speed increased, gusts were around 25 kts SE and the sea rise around 5 ft SE, so I decided to find shelter in the San Jose Island at W and we are in la Lobera. We started diving at 0900 hrs, the dive was good, we could see a couple of sea lions, and many reef fish. When we picked up our guests the sea lions who were resting on the rock started jumping into the water very close to our guests so we snorkeled with them.
Read MoreThe first dive we did was at El Bajo de San Francisco, the seamount that is a couple of miles east of Isla San Francisco. It was a great dive and everyone really enjoyed it. Big schools of yellow snapper, some groupers, several turtles, schools of bait fish, and lots of coral.
Read MoreToday we started the day with our 1st dive in Punta Arenas close to La Ventana, the dive site was pretty calm but was perfect for the warm-up dive, no issues with any guests, once we finished we departed to La Reina, and now our guests are diving and are enjoying the dive site.
