Hi fellows! Here we are directly from the SolmarV transmiting the good dive news for all those that are tuning this frequency.
Weather conditions prevented us from going all the way around San Benedicto to visit El Boiler, the wind has been blowing the last 4 days with a speed of 15 knots, but that was not a problem at all, because we have had great dives on El Cañon. In the first dive just going down to get the top of the ridge, we encountered a pod of about 15 dolphins that played with all of us for about 15 min before disappearing into the blue, then we swam to our usual cleaning station where we found 2 mantas that showed us their majestic dance. For the second dive we moved to the southwest side of San Benedicto and encountered the same pod of dolphins, but this time they stayed the whole dive playing and driving all the divers crazy! Some divers were dolphin style swimming others were holding on the bottom watching hammerheads and other divers were dancing with 2 mantas that have joined to the party, this was a party dive! All the celebrities made an appearance and kept us busy for long time, nobody wanted to come up and finish the dive because the action didn't stop, unfortunately we had to ascend and finish the dive because our air was low, it was a lot of fun! By the third dive the visibility have decreased to 20', but even though we had 3 playful mantas that again stayed with us the whole dive. The fourth dive we decided to stay at the cleaning station and be part of the reef to watch the juveniles silvertip sharks that the last months have been hanging around the cleaning station of El Cañon, besides these sharks the school of Burritos Grunts were swimming in between all the divers. Even though the weather conditions weren't as good as usual we had a great diving day as we always do when we are diving in El Cañon. See you later, stay tuned up for more news Erick
