A variety of life at San Benedicto

Hola Everybody from San Benedicto!
We had a beautiful view of the volcano from the Solmar V and for a checkout dive we used a site called el Fondeadero.  Vis was around 30' with water temp in the mid 70's.  We had a little bit of current from the west but it wasn't bad.  We found lots of long nose butterfly fish, the always beautiful and endemic clarion fish of the Revillagigedos, we also found some octopi and one group of divers was very interested in a crown of thorns star fish!!  The trumpet fish with long body and changing colors are amazing.  Exploring the rest of the dive area we spotted flounders that were almost invisible, giant electric rays, plenty of white tip sharks!  Lobsters and green morey eel don't have any trouble living right next to each other in the rocks and they make for a great photo!  As we made our safety stop, a couple of mantas came by!  A little late as we were at the end of our dive, but we had fun jumping in and snorkeling with them!
More from San Benedicto Later!
