And right then, all of the sudden, we saw a massive free-swimming moray eel, a couple smaller white tips AND a massive Manta cruising around and checking out my sombrero!

The crew have gone beyond expectation to deliver a variety of safe diving sites. Each day so far has delivered spectacular scenery above and below the sea.

Our big WOW MOMENT was swimming with a 12ft Chevron Manta, taking pictures and being in complete awe of her(?) when suddenly a whale shark appeared out of the blue. A juvenile everyone said. We all got a chuckle of how the manta reacted when the whale shark came in.

The first dive at Roca was amazing with huge tuna diving in and out of the schools of fish. Saw a couple of Galapagos sharks as well. Looking forward to see what shows up tomorrow! Hoping for some mantas!

Our first dive day kicked off with great conditions – calm seas above and excellent visibility below. A mild current over the volcanic rock ridge brought early sightings of large scalloped hammerhead sharks and a couple curious manta rays…

I turned and once again the whale shark was approaching. I ascended about 10 feet to stay out of its’s way and get some video. Very exciting for my first day diving.

Between the impressive passes around Manta Rock and “mantastic” safety stops in the blue, no diver was left out on the manta sightings for our first day.
