Yesterday afternoon on the last dive of the day a pod of bottlenose dolphins came into the dive site and one of the groups spent some quality time with 6 or 7 of them. After the dive, the RHIB when out to find the pod and everyone got a chance to jump in and snorkel with the dolphins. After that, we ran 30nm up to Coronado’s and anchored for the night.

This morning we did two dives at the north end, the first dive at Las Galeras and 2nd at Bajo Sandia, a couple of miles north of the island. Both dives were very good, with very cool topography, lots of reef fishes, and beautiful visibility today. At lunchtime, we moved to the south end and we’re diving a reef right at the south tip of the lighthouse, a nice reef that sits at around 40-50′, with nice fish life and some healthy soft corals and sea fans. And just as I’m writing this I can see a big pod of bottlenose dolphins hanging around the rhib and the divesite, so hoping the divers get to see them on their dive.

Last night guests arrived around 2130. They ran into some delays along the way but when they did arrive they were in good spirits and happy to be onboard. We ran overnight back up to Loreto and arrived at our first site at 0930. Our checkout dive was done at honeymoon cove on the west side of Danzante. The dive went well, a nice reef with lots of reef fish, morays, and a couple of turtles. V

We finished the trip yesterday with 4 good dives at Los Islotes, Fang Ming, and San Rafaelito. Lots of sea lion action, schooling sardines, turtles, and lots of different reef fish.
