Socorro Highlights Part 2

After the dolphins, we saw a couple hammerheads and three mantas that were swimming around us all the way to the safety stop.

Fingers crossed at Roca Partida. Hammerheads… hammerheads. Trying to visualize hammerheads. YES, YES. There they are. 70 hammerhead sharks march by 40 feet away from us, chased by another group of 5 sharks trying to catch up with the main group

Good morning ROCA PARTIDA!! There is just nothing quite like this small but fancy and visually intriguing rock.  Seeming to be lonely and deserted from the rest of Socorro islands , yet accompanied by a crazy array of birds topside, and the best of the wildest marine life below.
