8-9 years ago San Benedicto was heavily netted and took out almost the whole population of Galapagos sharks. At that time, we were helping to get some illegal fishing boats documented and reported to be followed up. The presence of the dive boats has definitely been pushing out poachers from this area.

So much shark life!

The “Shark group” (3 gentleman of 50+ plus years) joined us and also saw schools of Hammerheads twice! They were so happy, like kids under the water.

There was also a hammerhead in the deeper waters but honestly we were quite preoccupied with the two mantas on top! Such a magnificent morning.

We have seen all the good stuff including mantas, sharks, and finally dolphins. This adventure has been very calm and beautiful.

The Boiler gives it all!

Playful dolphins for the entire dive, and a couple of chevron mantas slowly getting cleaned by clarions were spotted close to the rock. Even a whale shark, swam from the depth to the shallowest area of the Boiler.
