Dives this morning have been great! On both, there have been sightings of dolphins, mantas, and hammerheads. The first dive had a pretty strong current running to the south, but it had switched to a mild current running north by dive two.

Going into the water and being so surprised by how different a diving site can be on each dive, how the sea creatures interact with our divers, having countless moments of pure joy and tears of underwater happiness.
Read MoreFor more than 25 years, Dr Rubin has focused his research on better understanding the Giant Pelagic Mantas of the Socorro Islands and surrounding Mexican waters. His knowledge of their evolution, behavior, and reproduction is invaluable. This research helps organizations like Manta Trust better identify the manta population of the area and campaign for better protection.
Read MoreWe finished two more dives yesterday at the boiler, with good manta action on both. The winds and seas subsided somewhat during the afternoon and we finished the day with all divers pleased. With some still slightly unpleasant motion in the ocean we relocated to Canyon for dinner before getting underway for Roca. Our overnight transit was relatively smooth and we arrived here to anchor at 0600.
