For the first dive today we jump from the stern, diver did great, no current, and one chevron manta stayed with our divers for around 30 min on the first dive, also they could see a Galapagos shark, some stingrays, some whitetips sharks, and some silvertips.
Read MoreWe moved from Roca at night, arrived at San Benedicto in the morning, we went to the boiler, light current to the NE, mantas everywhere, around seven or eight mantas were there very playful with our guests, one group could see a school of 10 hammerheads.
Read MoreFor the next dive we moved to the Boiler, this last dive was very good, we had two mantas playing around us for almost all dive, a lot of bonitas fish and we could see a blacktip shark, not much current, and the sea is only 1-3 ft, the visibility is 80 ft.
Read MoreWe arrived at The Canyon last night around 2300 already anchored and planning to dive there. We made a tentative plan to do our checkout dive at Fondeadero and then move to the boiler for dives 2-4. The check-out dive at Fondeadero was perfect for our divers to get accustomed to the operation and figure out their weights, etc. There was no current and visibility was around 50′. There was at least one manta sighted as well as some Galapagos sharks. It wasn’t amazing, but divers enjoyed themselves. As soon as divers were out of the water we got underway and relocated to The Boiler. We have done one dive here so far, and the divers loved it. The current was very mild from the south and visibility varied between 50-80′ with some hazy patches. There were at least three mantas at the site, with some of them giving great shows to our divers. So far it is a great start to our first day of diving! The plan is for two more dives here and then we will shift back to Canyon to anchor for the night and dive there tomorrow.
Read Moreoday we started our dive day at 0700 diving Fondeadero for the warm-up dive we could see three hammerheads at the beginning of the dive, some Galapagos and two dolphins but not as close as we wished, no current, then we moved to the Boiler for the 2nd dive, three chevron mantas and one black manta during the whole dive with our guests but the beauty of this is that we were watching the mantas while the whales were singing, unfortunately, we could not see them but it was beautiful.
Read MoreOnly 10 minutes into the dive we are surrounded by six mantas, hugging and high-fiving us. There is rarely a more remarkable experience than one of these gentle giants slowly approaching you from the deep blue, spanning her wings and heading towards you.
Read MoreWe finished two more dives yesterday at the boiler, with good manta action on both. The winds and seas subsided somewhat during the afternoon and we finished the day with all divers pleased. With some still slightly unpleasant motion in the ocean we relocated to Canyon for dinner before getting underway for Roca. Our overnight transit was relatively smooth and we arrived here to anchor at 0600.
