Read MoreOn the first dive at Roca Partida, we are the only boat in the area. White tips, Silver tips, Galapagos, big tunas, and a friendly pod of dolphins during the safety stop. Thanks to our divemaster Juan David for having such an incredible underwater vision!
Read MoreWe are anchored at Punta Tosca and the conditions are very favorable with calm seas, light winds. There are cloudy skies with blue sky patches and surface visibility is very clear. We have done two dives at Punta Tosca and today it was really good. In the first dive, all the groups saw dolphins up to around 20 with five of them coming right in and playing with some of the divers.

There is a common belief among divers that check-out dives are not the best dives of a trip. In the expeditions to Socorro Islands, you can expect top-class diving from the first dive. We usually do our check-out dive from the stern of the boat in a dive site called Fondadero in San Benedicto Island. It is a good practice because everybody is relaxed and has time to do the final adjustments to their gear and weights. Relax divers always have good luck! This week our check-out dive was a blast! The current was mild, the visibility was 60 ft and the animals were all waiting for us. We saw one chevron oceanic manta and one black manta cleaning. While we were enjoying the mantas two adult bottlenose dolphins came by to call for some attention. They were scratching each other and closing their eyes while they were doing it. It seemed that they were enjoying it very much. They swam in circles around us three times. It was a magical moment. Oceanic mantas, dolphins, silvertips, whitetips on a check-out dive can happen only in Revillagigedo islands! Love on the first dive!

And there it was: a beautiful animal, a majestic MANTA, the first one in my life. My heart started beating fast, my breath was taken away, my eyes and mind hypnotized. The best experience of my life, I finally saw my dream in front of me, a moment I have taught about a thousand times, and it came true, I was not dreaming.

Visibility of an easy 100ft of blue water and a couple of dolphins were sitting vertical, getting cleaned by the Clarion Angelfish but they didn’t get too close to us this time, but the mantas did! We are still trying to ID them but I estimate we had around 10 different mantas around us throughout the day, staying with the divers through the whole 3 dives.
