A manta came to say hello and stayed with us during both dives and our surface interval

Hi from San Benedicto Island,

Today was the last day of our trip.

We came last night form Roca Partida, and we started the day in El Cañon, were at first time in the morning a very friendly Manta came to say hello and stayed with us during both dives and our surface interval, near the boat, letting us snorkel with her. She was so friendly that it was so close to all our divers all the time, playing with them like a pet. During the dives we spotted some Silver Tip sharks, Ssome hammerheads, lot of Octopus and again our friend the manta following us the all time. After lunch we moved to The Bolier, and a couple of more Mantas came to our groups and stayed with them all the time. Even if visibilty wasn't the ideal (around 40 ft) the mantas came so close that all our photographer made their day.

At the end of the frist dive in The Boiler, we could enjoy an special moment when we got in the middle of an endless school of Pacific Creole Fish, that made everyone relax jus thovering in the middle, and fell that special connection that only the maginificence of nature can make with its creatures. The water temperature was around 73 degrees and visibility, as we said before was around 40 to 60 ft, it was no strong currents in the site and the sea was very calm today. Perfect conditions to say "see you soon" Socorro Islands.
