It was a windy day here on the island


Hola from Isla San Benedicto,

It was a windy day here on the island so we tried to make the best of things. Our first dive of the day showed some curent from the South west, a surface temp. of 70 degrees (F), and 30 ft. visibility. We spotted a single hammerhead crossing the reef, but no school on this dive. We instead made our way around the divesite enjoying all the eels, lobsters, octopus and scorpionfish El Canon has to offer.

Throughout the rest of the day the strong winds sustained, but we continued to press on and find the sharks and mantas this area offers. We had many manta sightings and a few good looks at some large hammerheads. All in all it was a challenging day. We're looking forward to improved conditions tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed. Until next time.
