We enjoyed 3 dives at El Cañon and one fantastic dive at The Boiler!

Good evening from San Benedicto,

Today was our second day diving here. After a great diving day, we are heading now to Roca Partida. We know great diving are waiting for us there, but in certain way we all feel sad of leaving this special place where the Mantas, Hammerheads, Silver Tip, White tip, and Galapagos sharks made our 4 dives just memorable.'
We enjoyed 3 dives at El Cañon and our last dive was at The Boiler. The water temp. was around 70 degrees (F), we had 50 ft. visibility in the early dives, and more than 80 in the last 2 dives, and a slight current changing during the day from the S to the NE at El Cañon, and  very nice and challenging SE current at The Boiler. At El Cañon we had two big gentle Galapagos Sharks playing around us for
more than 10 minutes, giving our divers the chance to get great photos and videos and interact with these magnificent animals. Near the corner, we were welcomed by some large hammerheads hanging around the cleaning station. Near the cleaning station we had a couple of  small silver tip sharks that were very curious about one of our guests small video camera, showing their interest by touching it several times, what of course made the best footage of the day for our guest David. While we went in the other side of the site, we had the visit of a group of 5 very curious great hammerheads.
In our second dive, we had the great surprise of giant manta coming towards our group of divers and enjoying their bubbles and flashes from the cameras, making each one of our customers finish this dive with a big smile and ready for a lunch break. In the afternoon we made our last dive at El Cañon with  a fantastic visibility of around 70 to 80f and of course more hammerheads moving in the area to make these 3 dives unforgettable.
For our last dive we moved to The Boiler, and we all had a great time with tons of lobsters, eels, octopus and of course the giant mantas hanging around the site, playing with the divers.

After these 4 dives everybody was ready for a great dinner and to rest for some great dives tomorrow at Roca Partida.

Saludos,
