Roca was just unbelievable today, it was like going to a safari. NO CURRENT AT ALL, and schools and schools and schools of fish all over the place!

The first day, one dive with beautiful mantas in El Boiler, they were dancing with four divers for more than 30 min. The black manta is elegant, he looks like he is wearing a tuxedo. The chevron manta, she is huge, more than 5m, swimming slowly and smiling all the time.

Dive 3 at Cabo Pearce. We started the dive at the north side of the site. As soon as we entered the water, we encountered a hammerhead shark, like 5-6 meters away. It went away to the blue, and then we started going south by the wall…

There was a school of hammerhead sharks in 80 ft of depth, and bait balls of skip jacks. To finish our day at Roca we had a great visitor: a whale shark! It was not a big one, but still impressive. Socorro did not let us down!

1st Dive Day, Fantastic!

Check out dive – nice and smooth at red rocks, 2 to 4 fantastic mantas came to visit us, then turtles, lots of fish, lobsters, and rays. And then…the most amazing sound…Humpback Whales singing!

The sea life is incredible: whale shark, sharks of all kinds, dolphins, huge mantas and beautiful black mantas, a lot of fishes… we could not count the animals!
