We started our last day of the trip at El Cañón, visibility of 70 ft+ and water temperature 79'82 F, but the current was moving like a river! Wow!! The eastern current brought up a lot of Hammerhead Sharks that we were watching coming in and out of the cleaning station trying to get cleaned by the Butterfly Fishes, in addition to the hammerheads, one group of divers had the opportunity to see a Tiger Shark that cruise on by.
We had seen a lot of hammersheads on our first two dives of the dya, so on our 3rd dive we decided to check out the hammerheads then let the current carry us for a drift dive and see what we might find! It was the right decision, while we were drifting and passing by El Fondeadero, a 25 foot Whale Shark swam by, briefly but good enough to see it and take couple pics.
By the 4th dive we drifted again hoping to get lucky and see another whale shark, instead we found a lot of hammerheads and a 10' tiger shark made a pass by the cleaning station one last time!
Well guys, this is it for today, we had a sharktastic and amazing day to
end our first trip of the 2012-2013 season!
¡Hasta la próxima!

The Solmar V is a true four-season live-aboard that takes advantage of weather patterns to provide optimal diving year-round. We spend November - June Diving with giant mantas, wild dolphin, seasonal whales, and seven species of shark at the Socorro Islands and August-October we are cage diving with great white sharks at Guadalupe Island.
