Hola from Roca Partida!
It was a great day to be at Roca for 3 dives. The weather here was very sunny perfect if you wanted to work on your sun tan! We had a mild win out of the North, a nice atmosphere onboard with our guests of different nationalities, 21 of them breaking into 3 comfortable groups, taking advantage of the over 100' visibility.
We went down on the east side of the rock to 50' of water to visit the friendly white tips! They were all over the rock, little ones, juveniles, males, pregnant females, and they weren't at all afraid of our divers! It was SO cool! Although the water temperature was a bit cooler, it didn't feel like it. Our first dive lasted 50 minutes, and the entire time we were escorted by a variety of fish like red and yellow tail trigger fish, very big black jacks, creole fish, ah! The endemic clarion angelfish is so beautiful, we had walls of big eye trevally, island jacks, and more. On the west side of the rock we ran into a school of 50 galapagos sharks with a few hammerheads and silvertips amongst them, it was unbelievable! I almost forgot about the singing and chirping dolphins that escorted us to the rock!
We had a fabulous third dive! On the west side in about 100' of water yupi yupi! Massive Yellow fin tunas! And the wall of fish from that we saw on the first dive never went away. We were headed towards the south end from the rock when, Surprise! The schooling galapagos sharks from the previous dive showed up out of the blue, they were so impressive! We stopped swimming to let them pass just beneath our fins, they made one more pass before our time was up. We made our safety stop the way we started our dive, with white tips. What more can I say? It was a magnificent day and I can't explain it to you the way I feel it... you're just going to have to see for yourself! Come here and join us at Socorro!
