Every dive was full of incredible high octane shark action!


Oh Roca!

What can I say folks, what can I say?...

Every single dive was full of incredible high octane shark action, Galapagos, Silvertips and Hammerheads schooling together, it was a huge parade of about 100 + sharks that cruised the blue back and forth between the hundreds of thousands Pacific Creolefish that hang out also in the water column. And if that wasn’t enough, a 40’ pregnant Whale Shark made an appearance on every single dive!
In the first 2 dives the current was just mildly blowing and that was a good trigger for the Red Snappers that started spawning to let their eggs drift away, few Silvertips try to catch some of these Snappers but didn’t have any success.
Before the third dive we spotted birds that flew all crazy, good indicator 
that a baitball was going on, we went and check it out but all was left were several Oceanic Triggerfishes that found shelter in a piece of wood that the current was carrying in. By the third dive the current had just picked up a bit and brought up murky and chilly water but that wasn’t and excuse for us to get into the thermocline and find the same whale shark we had previously seen in the
last 2 dives.

Tonight we’re chilling and relaxing planning our dives of tomorrow,
expecting to have again the same sharky action!

Stay tuned for more Solmar V news!

¡Hasta la vista!
