Mantas all day at Socorro Island!


Hi from Socorro Island!
We were hoping to find mantas and mantas are what we found!!! We made 3 dives today at Cabo Pearce at Socorro Island.  The first one in the morning was with blue warm waters and no current. 5 different mantas came to visit our divers at the cleaning station, with many Clarion Angel Fish tagging along on their backs. The mantas interacted with our divers for over an hour! By the end of the dive we saw a family of Dolphins hunting juvenile tunas and a great Chevron Manta just hovering in the middle of the show. That was just unforgettable. For the second dive we had the same conditions and more mantas showed up to play and we stayed for another hour just taking in their performance at the cleaning stations. 
By the 3rd dive, the conditions dropped a bit, but we were still able to enjoy the visit of a Chevron Manta at the cleaning station along with dolphins at the deep part of the dive site!
We are now at the Navy Station waiting for the routine inspection, then we're headed to San Benedicto to for our last day of what has already been a fantastic trip!
Until the next time
