An easy and spectacular day of diving.

Hi every one out there!
    We have great news for all of you about today's dives at San Benedicto
Island, Dive site EL BOILER.
    Our first dive started at 8:10AM off the back of Solmar V, very comfortable if you ask me! 3 groups as usual and one at the time guided by Dave Dive Instructor and marine biologist, Ricardo also Dive Instructor and myself Daniel, so underwater no need to swim around the whole rock since a school of bigeye trevally were there in just 50 ft of water, just a few minutes later we heard dolphins clicks and chirps that let us know they were heading towards us!Wait wait!! Just are we turn around 10 dolphins in front of us spreading out, we had them for minutes doing all kind of stuff chasing those bigeyes trevally, divers went crazy taking pictures of dolphins! Our whole dive took place with no need to swim,  the water Temp was 71f, vis about 60' but a very heavy surge, fun to ride too!!!
    On our second dive no dolphins but instead we had at the same time  5 big mantas for most of the dive, as background a very lousy humpback whale and just like the first dive no need to swim! Everything was right there! Also I need to add an 8 ft Galapagos shark came by a few times too!!
    The third dive was fun riding with the surge, no current at all but mostly fish, vis and water temp did not change at all! 
    For the fourth dive we have mantas AGAIN!! 50 minutes!! and don't want to go away! Black ones and Chevron, it was amazing that didn't remember to check water temp! No time! mantas first always!
    Ask me about today and I'll tell you it was a manta and dolphin day!!
