Our first dive of the trip took place at las cuevas (the caves) of San Benedicto Island. It was nice to get in the water and feel a warm water temp of 75F with no thermocline. We had no current, but there was a bit of surge which resulted in slightly lower visibility. We had fun diving the outer part of the dive site first before working our way into the caves. As usual the white tips sharks were ready to have their photos taken with as many as 10 in a frame. We also ran into numerous lobsters, eletric rays, green sea turtles, and as a teaser one chevron manta showed up for a brief moment! During our safety stop we felt like were in an aquarium as we were surrounded by creole fish, and we can not forget to mention that we listened to the humpback whale song the entire dive, and the whales were singing so that loud we could feel it on our chest. Everyone still had a blast despite the sub-par visibility.
