Ted: Roca Partida Roc(k)ed! Get it?! But really, where in the world can you dive seemingly in the middle of nowhere on a pinnicle 200 feet deep on a volcano 10,000 feet deep? Impressive, to say the least. Quite the little eco system down there too. My favorite was the Silvertip Sharks. They are beefy […]
Read MoreLocation: Roca Partida, Socorro Island, Revillagigedos, Mexico We started of with going out visiting a big group of hammerhead sharks a bit outside of the rock.

One interesting note is that one small silvertip shark apparently chased away 4 larger silky sharks (4 – 5 feet in length) that were hanging around a tag line hanging off the back of the Nautilus Explorer. Not sure on the dominance behaviour of silky and silvertip sharks, but that strikes me as highly irregular behaviour.
