Category: Noon Reports

Warm morning at San Benedicto, calm wind and seas. Sky partially clouded but cleared as the day got older. Our first dive of the day we did off the dive platform. Divers encountered few octopuses, lobsters, white tips and usual reef fish. No issues with divers during the buoyancy check dive. It was all good. The second dive we dropped divers at Manta Rock. Divers encountered Galapagos sharks, silky sharks, hammerhead sharks, silver tip sharks, white tip s harks and chevron manta. Viz and water temp remained the same.

2nd dive here at the boiler, much nicer diving conditions. Still light winds, moderate to no current, similar swell and wave conditions as Fundeadero, but we saw playful mantas, schooling hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, various pods of dolphins and a surprise 3 big green sea turtles in the mix. Planning to stay here for the rest of the day, return to the canyon for Taco night on the sundeck, then get under way this evening for Roca Partida.
