Captain’s Noon Reports – Belle Amie – 2022-01-26

By on January 26th, 2022 in Noon Reports

We 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.

The wildlife has been showing up in force! At least three mantas on the checkout dive, some scattered hammerheads as well as Galapagos and silvertip sharks. On dive two at The Canyon, there were three more manta sightings, some schooling hammerheads coming close to the divers at the transmitter, and two large tiger sharks. Divers are thrilled.

What an Amazing Way to Start This Trip

oday we proved why again. As soon as we started to go down we saw the first manta. A short while later another manta showed up. And then the rest of the manta clan showed up. All of a sudden we had five mantas circling us for the rest of the dive.

An Explosion of Marine Life at the Socorro Islands

All groups enjoyed several mantas, a school of about fifty hammerheads came out of the blue into The Canyon, and as usual the cleaning station did not disappoint with a parade of mantas, dolphins, juvenile silvertips and Galapagos all at once.
