We just arrived as the sun was going down, but managed to get a dive in at Las Cuevas. It`s our first day of the trip so we`re all very anxious to get into the water. The water was warmer than last week at 84 degrees (F) with visibility at 40 ft. It was a mellow dive filled with lobster, white tip reef sharks, and green turtles. All had a nice dive while getting all their gear sorted for tomorrow.
After the dive, we were getting ready for our taquiza (bbq) on the bow, when we spotted a juvenile whale shark swimming along the boat! It was already dark so the little guy seemed to be feeding on the plankton that the lights of the boat was attracting. We watched from the boat for awhile, but then realized that we could jump in! So a few of us braved the dark to get a night interaction with a baby whale shark. It was definitely a first for all of us to see one of these beautiful sharks at night. He hung out with us for 30 min. or so before disappearing into the night. We saw this as a good omen for tomorrow and the rest of the trip. Here`s to an amazing first day at San Benedicto!
Until Next Time,
