Everything checked out on our checkout dive!

Buenas Tardes from San Benedicto!!

It was our first dive of the trip this afternoon on Las Cuevas. This spot is know for it's alluring caves. There are two and can be stacked with whitetip sharks. Today we had 30-40 foot visibility, a slight current, and a surface temp of 75 degrees (F). Our dive started in the caves where we spotted three whitetips right away resting in the corner. We watched on as they brought water in their mouths and out their gill slits. As we moved out of the cave we swam around getting comfortable on our first dive together pointing out green morays, lobsters, and even a giant electric ray (whose name is misleading since they are maximum 2ft. long). Another very interesting find was a sea urchin spawning on top of a rock. It looked to us like a little volcano. We finished the dive zig-zagging through the caves and up for our safety stop. All divers came up happy to be in the water again and looking forward to more dive in beautiful San Benedicto.

Saludos,
Dave Valencia
