Hi all!
Cabo Pearce was the Dive Site to explore today! We had a fantastic day at Socorro Island! During a 40 minute dive we had the opportunity of seeing the first hammerhead of the day in shallower water we went a bit deeper and found about 7 more! Over the cleaning station we found 4 mantas that were getting cleaned by clarion angel fish! The mantas were swimming right over our heads, they love our bubbles! It was quality manta time!The reef was as beautiful as ever, covered in a colorful variety of reef fish! During the same dive 8 dolphins found us! The playful dolphins swam circles around us, and followed us for a good period of time! Our divers loved it when the dolphins pause from swimming vertically in front of us, pause, then slowly free fall into the depth! They are so much fun!
On our second dive the water was so blue that from 40' we were able to see the sandy bottom 140' below! We could see giant electric rays and diamond head rays and into the blue we spotted 15 hammerheads heading our way! The mixture of large adult hammerheads mixed with a few juveniles swam right under our fins! They made two passes before disappearing into the blue! We ascended to a shallower depth where we met 5 white tip reef sharks on our way to the cleaning station. There were 7 mantas and 1 mobula waiting for us at the cleaning station!
The next two dives the mantas were still there, giving everyone a chance to get the perfect manta photo! We ended our day with 8 mantas that couldn't stay long, and listening to the most beautiful whale song for 20 minutes! During our surface interval we spotted from the bow of the the whales less than 100' from our boat being escorted by dolphins! Surface water temp was 79F with 100'+ visibility! It was a great day at Socorro island, next stop, el canyon!
