False Killer Whales at San Benedicto!

At 7 am, the sun hadn’t risen yet and the current was coming from the north, we were already diving in El Cañon’s cleaning station at 90’ watching how fabulous is that the butterfly fishes remove the parasites off the hammerheads sharks, this event happens only in the mornings, also we enjoyed a pod of about 10 bottlenose dolphins that came to the cleaning station but to chase and feed on the bigeye jacks, it was an epic morning dive!

We dove for a second time in El Cañon and we saw again a school of 20 hammerheads even without current they swam between all the divers like modeling for us, besides 5 different mantas that wanted to play with the bubble makers!

By the third dive we were back in El Boiler with a 40’ visibility and a strong north current that brought a termocline of 73°F and 3 mantas that majestically danced for us the entire dive, another splendid dive, how cool is that?

Getting ready to do the 4th dive and David spotted on the horizon a group of False Killer Whales, so instead diving we decided to jump on the zodiacs and go snorkel with them, it was a good decision to have done it because when we got out there it was a big group of whales like more than 50 individuals that let us be close enough to appreciate their beauty, everything was captured with the eye of Adil, our videographer aboard. 
Right now we’re sailing back to Cabo San Lucas and everybody is sharing their memories while enjoy Luis’s mango and strawberry best margaritas!

Stay tune up 

Hasta la vista!
