It’s amazing how mother nature can change from one day to another!


Hola Amigos!

Guess what!? The weather conditions have changed allowing us to dive El Boiler and it was magnificent!!

Just arriving to El Boiler at 7 in the morning and the dolphins were already playing at the surface, so we had the dive briefing and immediately jumped to the water to be part of the dolphin game! Having 71 F of water temperature and a visibility of more than 100’ that we could even see the bottom from the surface and it’s at 150’! Isn’t that great?

Anyway, as soon as we broke the liquid border we headed to the west side of El Boiler where normally the Bigeye Jacks hung out and we know already that this dolphins love to chase them every morning, they weren’t there but we could heard them, so we decided to hung out with the jacks for a while and suddenly from the dark blue we started seeing a group of 6 dolphins that were heading toward us here they come! We proceeded to have an amazing time with this small pod, and 3 of them showed us a behavior play like if were kissing, wait till you see Adil’s trip report on YouTube!
 
Not even enough with what we just had on the previous dive and the second dive was full of Manta action, 5 different Mantas have shown up to offer a close encounter with every single diver, besides the glamorous dance that they always do. By the third dive 2 more joined to the show and Daniel and his group decided to adventure in the blue and have success, saw several Hammerheads and thousands of Bigeye Jacks.

More than half of the divers decided not to do the fourth dive and instead that went out on the panga looking for Humpback Whales that have been breaching during our surface interval, though they didn’t have the chance to see them underwater, these whales were kind of shy. Some of the divers did the dive saw only one Manta that was waiting for some tickling bubbles.

It’s so amazing how mother nature can change from one day to another, just yesterday have been so windy that we couldn’t move from the south side of the island and this morning that blowing winds that have been hitting us
just vanished!

Tonight we’ll go to Roca Partida, stay tuned.
