This Has Truly Been an Amazing All-around Great Trip

Doing a liveaboard for 7 days, there was some anxiety before the trip. I was put at ease as soon as we arrived on board the Belle Amie. The accommodations and staff were amazing. I became very excited to know that in 24 hours we would be doing some amazing dives with sharks and mantas. Not only did we enjoy every dive but we were blessed to have a humpback whale and calf hang out near Roca Partida and even dolphins at Socorro.

We made one more dive yesterday afternoon at Punta Tosca, conditions remained good, with great visibility and very little current. 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.
