On the third dive, there were two mantas, a few distant hammerheads, and two tiger sharks. Overall it made for a good day of diving and guests were happy with the experience. After dive three we got underway for the navy base and made our check-in via radio before continuing on to anchor at Cabo Pearce. After dinner, we ran the silky snorkel, but only one guest was brave enough to get in the water and he had a great show. Around six large silkies circle the area. The action was perfectly mellow for the entire 20 minutes that we had him in the water.
