Hammerheads in big numbers stole the show at San Benedicto!

  Hi folks!
    What a great hobby scuba diving is!
Our first day at San Benedicto, we dove 4 times and did not have to (or want to) go anywhere else, all the action was at EL CAÑON!
    We started the first dive in 82ºF water temp and as the day went on the water warmed up to 84ºf, and vis was a consistent 60'+ with a current coming from east, our favorite direction for El Canon! Once we started the dive the current brought us lots of hammer heads in an area we called the corner, but they were in relatively shallow water. At about 75' of water we found a small school of 20 to 30 of them, and as the day went on it only got better! We were having so much fun with the hammerheads, we got caught up and almost forgot about the mantas, then all of a sudden one came flying over our heads nicely distracting us and demanding attention! White tips and silver tips were scattered all over the dive site, and a tiger shark made appearances throughout the day! 
    In between dive we spotted a bait ball, we go to check it out but mostly yellow fin tunas so we come back to scuba dive! One group started the dive from the north anchor and the other groups started on the south anochor, but both groups ran into massive schools of hammerheads in big numbers coming up from below 100' to swim over EL Canon, and they were even joined by a tiger shark!I t was unreal!! That's two trips in a row where we've seen a tiger shark!
    The last dive of the day we as a groups took different directions the ones went North got to see a friendly manta a few hammer heads and the plus of the dive another tiger shark! you may think is the same one but no it is not because of the strip patterns! the other group went south along the ridge to the corner so lucky too! schooling hammer heads again! Who could get tired of seeing this?!
    Have sharky dreams and we'll bring you our next report tomorrow!
