Best Regards from Roca Partida!

Hola from Roca Partida!! Another day with great conditions, not only below the surface, but above too with flat ocean and no wind at all! 
Our first dive started with 60-80' visibility, 73F and no current!!  The first half of the dive took place in the north western area of Roca Partida.  We were surrounded by lots of creole fish, as we reached a depth of 90', we spotted 4 galapagos sharks and right behind them a big school of yellow fin tuna! Divers were having a blast watching them at depth, then we headed south west, and a world of fish was awaiting us!  Black jacks, creole fish, more yellow fin tunas,  and patrolling the point of the rock were more galapagos and silver tip sharks!  What a great dive!
When we were getting ready for the second dive, a pod of bottle nose dolphin came close to the boat, so many of our divers decided to snorkel with them while another group did the dive.  
The third dive was just as good as the first!  We were on the same side of the rock, with great conditions!  We always had a couple of hammer heads close by at around our depth, but we could see more a little bit deeper.  As we were watching the sharks at depth away from the wall, we were suddenly surrounded by a gigantic school of fish!  We were in the center of a big school of BIG yellow fin tuna.  Back on the wall, we found spotted moray eels, white tip reef sharks, bright orange clarion angelfish and red tail triggerfish!
Best Regards from Roca Partida!
