Guests are loving every second of it. We’ve got two final dives left on this trip and everybody is excited for them.
Read MoreWe got underway right after dive 4 and ran south to Cabo Peace and anchored up around 2230. The day has been windy, but surface conditions still feel mild compared with yesterday. And the dives have been great. Divers so far have seen hammerheads, five mantas, and just on dive two, we had a group of dolphins cruise past some of the divers. There was a group of about 30 bottlenoses playing in the bay after divers got out and lots of the guests were able to see them from the skiffs. The current was nil on dive one but began to pick up on dive two. We have one more dive scheduled for the afternoon and then we will get underway for the navy check-in. Silky snorkel after dinner tonight and then on to Roca.
Read MoreOne black manta was making very close passes by every diver over and over again. It was like he just wanted to look every individual diver in the eyes. Pure magic. And if that weren’t enough, we had two humpback whales that were breaching behind the boat during the loading process and then they cruised past the dive site and some divers were able to get a distant look.
Read MoreThere was some good silvertip action at the cleaning station and some of the divers got very good interactions with a group of around 10 hammerheads. Overall it has been a perfect first day so far.
Read MoreThis trip was a trip of a lifetime!!! We saw an endless supply of sharks, mantas, breaching whales, and even several dolphins. I’ve been around whales for quite some time, but I have never seen a breach, and we saw a mother-calf breach multiple times between our dives and even cruised by our skiff after one of the dive groups saw them underwater.
Read MoreWe did two more dives at Roca yesterday afternoon. Both were very good, especially dive number three. There were three or four mantas visible to all divers for most of the dive, as well as the usual Silvertips and whitetips. Large yellowfin tuna were on the hunt. Everybody really enjoyed the site. Dive four was a bit more mellow, with no manta sightings. But it still made for a really good dive. After discussing plans with the group leader we decided to get underway last night and make way towards Socorro for a day of diving at Punta Tosca and then the navy check and silky snorkel.
Read MoreThe first dive this morning here had moderate current from the north and somewhat poor visibility, around 15 meters. But there were at least two mantas present and a group of around 10 bottlenose dolphins came in for a very close show. All of our divers loved it. Dive two had much less current and more visibility but was fairly quiet for animals. But divers all enjoyed the topography now that they could see it and the last group of divers had a large manta pass just below them on their safety stop. Everybody is excited for the afternoon.
