Roca Partida Rocks with the Solmar V!!!

Roca Partida Rocks with the Solmar V!!!


Today we had an awesome day at Roca, with more great weather!  he weather was sunny with no wind, under water the conditions were just as nice!  The water was a warm 75F with slight current and 90'+ visibility! We found a lot of great action both above the water and below! We had a bunch of sharks, dolphins, tunas, whales, and a school of false killer whales! The weather was sunny with calm conditions


We made three dives and they were all amazing!  Every dive we had at least 70 sharks around our divers! We counted about 20 hammerheads, 15 galapagos, 12 silkys, 10 silvertips, and plenty of white tip reef sharks patrolling the north and south corners of Roca!  We ran into a HUGE school of yellow fin tunas on every dive, plus a lot of jacks, wahoos, and  bonitas swimming together, we felt like we were inside of a natural aquarium!  


Between dives, we had a bunch of dolphins jumping around the Solmar V, and we saw a few humpback whales breaching near by!  We jumped in the pangas and got our guests close enough to take a few photos.  After our 3rd dive, we saw in the distance a large pod of dolphins, so we decided to jump in the pangas and do some snorkeling with them!  But when we dropped in, to our surprise we found a big pod of over 40 false killer whales!  We had an incredible time and swam with them for over an hour!  It was sooooo good!  Everyone is so thankful for the great new year conditions provided by mother nature!
