Being underwater seeing all this life is so fun, think about joining us soon for a trip!!!

Hi all!!!
    Today was a great day to do 4 dives at Isla San Benedicto.  To start with I'm gonna say we have on board 22 very cool guests, that are divided into 3 small groups guided by our dive instructors David, Eric and myself Daniel.
    Weather conditions were: Flat ocean, very mild wind from north and
mostly a sunny day, a great day to work on your sun tan!!! We had mild current from the south all day long.  
    The first Scuba dive at el Cañon was awesome!!! The water temp was in the low 70's, as we reached the first depth of 60' a black manta that was about 12' in length was there already waiting to play! We continued our dive in search of hammerheads, so we headed towards the southern corner of the dive site. When we got there we held onto the rocks at 80' surrounded by lots of green morays, octopus, island jacks, barberfish, and we found a few hammerheads!  We hoped for a large school, and just had a handful, but to sweeten the pot, we had a couple silver tip sharks too.. ah, they are beautiful! Having found hammerheads and silver tips, we continued our search for the galapagos shark! We got into an area between 70' and 80' of water and ran into dolphins chasing jacks and singing instead!  Not far from us and a little bit deeper one group was on the floor watching that large school of hammerheads that we were looking for!

On our second dive we decided to swim across the dive area and into a mild current from south. At 90´of water and only 5 minutes into the dive the dolphins showed up again but now about 10 of them and as usual always singing and telling you --we are coming, we are coming--, as we reached the far side we had to stop and take it all in.  A manta glided above our heads into a world of fish that was in front of us, as I looked behind the group to check on things we had two VERY big galapagos sharks cruise by!  They were 8 to 10' at least! At this point it was time to start making our way back to shallower water, and we were escorted by a giant manta all the way to our ascent rope, and during the safety stop two dolphins came by just to say adios!

The third dive we went along the ridge heading south, 70 to 80' of water, we were once again escorted by this manta all the way to the corner, once there we saw a few hammer heads and the manta kept making circles around us.  As we went to the far side of the dive site we found the school of hammerheads!  It was so cool to see them swimming all together in rhythm.  It was time to come up to the surface after a 45 minute dive, and refill for our next great dive! The other two groups went to another area and had lots of fun with 5 mantas, hammerheads, and a galapagos shark too! 

The last dive of the day was so peaceful with fish as if you were in
an aquarium!!! 
    Being underwater seeing all this life is so fun, think about joining
us soon for a trip!!!
