Roca Partida woke up this afternoon! Along with some lively action on the surface was some equally live action below with sharks of all kinds lurking about. Duskies, Silkies, Galapagos, White tips, Silver tips and Hammerheads were converging on the Rock today in a shark convention it seemed. While the Nautilus held fast in […]
