What a great day!
We woke up at 7:00 am, had breakfast, suited up and jumped in the water with this friendly momma humpback and calf that have been hanging out at Roca Partida for the last 3 weeks. The morning sun rays made the light exposure perfect for taking pictures and video, and after a brief encounter with the whales, we moved to Roca to do our first dive of the day. We were lucky because we quickly found about 100 hammerheads that glided the base of the pinnacle.
On the second dive when we headed to the south point of the rock, we saw the whales that hung out around there waiting for us. We got ready as fast as we could and got in the water to a surprise! There were no longer 2 whales, this time there were 3! A male was performing the escort with the momma and the baby 2 months old whale. Besides this brief encounter with
the whales, we saw again the school of hammerheads, but this time they were closer to the rock.
At 4 pm we were already getting in the water and the escort, momma and calf awaited at 50’/15 m, they were motionless, literally hovering at this depth, which made it pretty accessible to get close ups to this whales. It was honestly tremendous, almost unbelievable! All the passengers decided to do one more day here, at Roca Partida!
Stay tuned for more Roca news!
See you later.
