Our afternoon at the Boiler yesterday kicked ass. Several people said they counted at least 8 different Mantas! They were around for every dive for the entire dive! It was kind of difficult to leave and move on to our next site, this seemed like our best window for Roca Partida and we are still […]

With the Sun rising creating a spectacular swirl of pink and orange, as we have our breakfast and dive briefing, still wiping the sleep out of our eyes.  Nothing like simply waking up and being at your new dive destination, even though 80 or so miles away. The Swell at Roca partida can be on […]

The reality of big animal diving. Not every day is giant mantas and sharks galore. Roca Partida was quiet today..

Not sure why but everything at Roca Partida seems to be very deep 150 feet+, so today here has been a bit of a bust.  Only 10-15 sharks all day long other than 30 or so whitetips. Almost no silkies or Galapagos, some silver tips and hammerhead sharks but not enough that by the third […]

It's not easy to describe Roca Partida; it just has to be experienced. The water is warm (80F), the visibility is great (80+ft) and these two facts are far from the best part.

The undersea life here is simply stunning.  Today we saw 5 different species of sharks, abundant fish, a giant manta. It was a big day for me personally, as I saw my first hammerhead shark and my first whale shark.  It was also my first dive with no bottom reference.  We spent most of our […]

Arriving at 7AM to the Mexican Show on Roca was very welcoming to the boatload of Canadians made us feel right at home. Dropping into the blue with a dense school of jacks and trevally, interspersed with wahoo, puffers and oh yes, dozens of sharks!! White tips, silver tips, Galapagos, silky, hammerhead and apparently a […]

Wind is up a bit today so we’re diving along the leeward reef. What we call “The Nursery”. Two dives so far and it’s been good. Lots of juvenile sharks, silver tips and galapagos. Very fishy also. One guest just came up from his dive and said it’s one of the best dives he’s ever […]
