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.
Read MoreIn all, the divers have loved their first morning. We plan for two more dives here this afternoon and then we’ll have taco night on the top deck before moving to anchor overnight at the boiler, where we will dive tomorrow.
