An amazing 3rd day here at Roca Partida, an experience nothing can beat!


Hi all!
We continue to have amazing dive experiences here at Roca Partida that are simply unforgettable! We had the good fortune of being able to listen to the humpback whale song on every dive! Above the water they were breaching, playing, doing all sort of things we think trying to impress females, but back to underwater we had all day long this nice and mild current from south that brought to us many joyful things. On the south point we found a big number of hammerheads although they were a bit deep, but the water was so clear while our eyes were watching hammer heads our ears were listening unique whales songs!! 
Other dives took place just in one area enjoying the company of a world of fish at depth with Galapagos sharks and silver tips. 
On another dive we literally dropped in just above a beautiful chevron manta, that we drifted with all the way to the northern point of the rock. 
During our surface intervals our phenomenal panga drivers Pancho and Geronimo took us whale watching put us at the perfect spot to snorkel with mama humpback and her calf for extended periods of time. For those that came aboard dreaming to see a humpback in the water, we made the dream a reality with three incredible days at Roca with mama and her calf! Just watching her at 55' still, barely moving pectoral fins, with her calf resting underneath her chin! At a safe distance we were able to clearly make eye contact with her! We know they have a good vision and excellent hearing! After surfacing they came back to where we were! Always the same depth around 50'! A diver guest admitted she was incredibly moved by this tender picture of mama and calf, an experience nothing can beat!

  1. Yes Danni, those times with the mamma and her calf were the most special and touching experiences I have had. Thanks to you and the rest of the crew who made our trip the best ever and enabled us to take with us such beautiful memories which we will cherish forever. Hopefully we'll come back sometime! Many many thanks, Sonja and Jeff Wales UK. Xx
