Throughout the last few days everyone on board has seen manta rays, schools of Hammerheads, Silky sharks, Galapagos sharks, silvertip sharks, tons of white tips and most have seen a tiger shark or two also!

Interesting bottlenose dolphin behaviour at Socorro Island

Divers saw the usual complement of electric rays, Socorro lobster, silky, Galapagos and hammerhead sharks, but their most spectacular encounter was with a single bottlenose dolphin who adopted the divers. We’ve been seeing similar behaviour from the dolphins all winter, where they hang out and literally imitate the divers. If a diver hangs on to the ascent line, the dolphin will rest the underside of his head on the line. If a diver blows bubbles, the dolphins will blow bubbles. If a diver does a 360-degree roll, the dolphin will do a full roll (well actually, they tend to be somewhat playful and will often do a 720-degree roll or even a triple barrel roll).
