Hi guys! We are so excited about today and ready to go diving! So our first dive took place at a lesser known Revillagigedos dive site with a great vis of 70+ ft water temp 71f and some thermoclines of 69f at the depht, we felt a really mild current from north that didn't bother us, we are 5 minutes into the dive at 50ft of water, we look up to the surface and we have 2 mantas there, we are now drfting along in the current and it is taking us straight to the cleaning station which is only 40ft of water, didn't have to wait to long before 4 mantas showed up, so we spent the whole first, second and third dive here and counted up to 14 mantas along the day according to our Marine Biologists on board David and Erick! , but those mantas that don't want to go away never!! We had so much fun!! At the end of second dive we are drifting in 15ft of water safety stop and just coming out the blue and with out singing or here we go, 6 dolphins came by just for seconds, but this is not it! Also drifting one of the other groups had their own privated manta for long long time!! The cleaning station is great itself, lots of octopie, green moray eels, barber fish, trumpet fish, crown of thorms sea stars, leather bass, parrot fish, Mexican hogfish, etc, in shallow water during the third dive we enjoyed the company for minutes and minutes of a school of steel pompanos and of course a manta got into this school of fish surrounding us just like the fish, so we can tell that every dive we did was from 60 to 70 minutes of fun!! To end the day we were all taken in a panga ride with Geronimo and Luis along a beatiful volcanic wall with lots of bubbles and thru and arch! Can't miss it when you come to with us!! Gracias mother nature! Dive Inst. Daniel Zapata
