It was a great day at Roca Partida, just to start I have to tell you that we had a beautiful sunny day all day! A great contrast with a super blue water all day long!
So we had 3 groups in the water starting in different points of Roca, conditions were: mild current from northeast, vis 120ft(+), water temp 71f, Dive Guides: Eric, Dave and Dani.
On The First dive one group started on the north point a bit away from it, locky guys spotted a school of about 30 hammer heads, then as getting closer to the rock at depth really counting them 12 Galapagos sharks and some silver tips sharks, on the other hand the other 2 groups started the dive using the protected east side, very nice lost of white tips, lots of fish also and along the wall heading to north point the silver tips and Galapagos sharks were also welcoming us so we spent the whole dive watching sharks, 50 minutes!! isn't great!!
After a nice break we all started the second dive on the east side but one group at the time, so funny to say that while one group was watching white tips at 40 ft of water the other group just behind the first one was watching a 20ft in Lent MALE WHALE SHARK!! The water was still so blue and whale shark so close to us that we could see every single white spot on it!! So the 50 minutes dive ended up with a friendly whale shark swimming among the 3 groups!!
So exited about the second dive we go for the third one, lost of sharks like the first dive, Galapagos, Silver tips, White tips but no hammer heads and of course we missed the friendly whale shark too!
The diving day ended up on the bow of the beautiful Solmar V watching also the colors of incredible sunset drinking delicious margaritas prepared by Luis Savina the steward.
So we hope you enjoy hearing from us, now come join us!
