Roca Partida was great... now we're off to our next adventure

Hi folks!

Today we did 3 dives at Roca Partida, but today the conditions were more a bit
challenging than usual.

Going down into the realm of Roca at 7:30 am we found the Whitetip Reef Sharks just coming back to the ledges they were haunting as they always do in the dawn, everybody took all the pics possible and decided to swim toward to the blue in the search of sharks, but guess what!? All groups got involved in up & down draft currents that made it nearly impossible to hang out in the blue, so for safety reasons we decided to stick closer to the wall. We ended this dive with the Whitetip Sharks and the thousands Jacks that inhabit this “splendid” dive site, as our British divers on this trip called it.

By the second dive the weird current had changed a lot, leaving us with the classic current that normally hits Roca, of course this dive was more relaxed and we could explore the surroundings of the rock with more confidence, we saw hundreds of Yellowfin Tunas that were cruising by and came to check us out as always.

While we did our surface interval we had a lot of Humpback Whale action and Bottlenose Dolphins that also played with this enormous mammals, several whales were slapping and breaching close to the rock on the surface and kept us entertained and busy in taking hundreds of topside pictures and video.

For the third dive we decided to hung out only in the north side of Roca where today was the only point where we found shelter, but all the action was cruising by there!!, we saw thousands of Tunas all sizes that cruised by, few Silvertip Sharks one Galapagos Shark here another one there and a five Silky Sharks that chased this school of Tunas. 

Right now we are off to Socorro, we plan to checking in with the Mexican Navy in the morning and later we’ll go to visit the famous Cabo Pearce expecting hopefully to find the incredible Giant Mantas that tend to visit this site to get cleaned by the beautiful bright orange Clarion Angel Fish, and of course to have some dolphin action!

Stand by for Socorro’s news...

Hasta la vista!
