ROCA PARTIDA!
What a unique place to dive...
A great day of diving started with beautiful sun rise! Water temp was in the mid 70's with an amazing visibility of over 120' gave us excellent perspective of the rock!
The ledges were covered with white tip reef sharks, and were excellent models for our guests' camera! On top of the we found a massive school of hammerheads and galapagos sharks schooling together! We hung out with them at 100' for about 10 minutes before returning to the norther point of the rock. We waited at the norther point looking at different schooling fish like black jacks, cotton mouth jacks, big eye trevally, and more, before we encountered over 20 very curious galapagos sharks at only 30'!
On the other side of the rock one groun found a big ball of striped bonito with 40 to 50 silky sharks chasing them, on the surface our panga driver Geronimo spotted 2 humpback whales, but they were too far to get close.
On our second dive we had the opportunity to go all around the rock, which gave us the time to enjoy the schooling fish, sharks all over the place and we found a a big school of galapagos and hammerheads on the southern point! The conditions improved on our 3rd dive and when we dropped in the water were were literally on top of a school of galapagos sharks!
