Dive Report APRIL 1ST, 2013
Cabo Pearce, Socorro Island
A day that made us remember that the
ocean can drastically change dive conditions in a day, from a strong
current to zero, from good vis to poor vis, water temp from 73 to 75
̊f. We were spoiled from our
other days of diving and even though the action wasn't as good as
Roca, we still had some to have fun! We had the company for a short
period of time of a dolphin and manta, and took time to explore the
reef where we found octos, flounders, lobsters, green moray eels,
giant diamond head sting ray, lots of barber fish, clarion fish, and
more!

We started our 2nd day at Socorro
Island diving the site Punta Tosca, the conditions weren’t great
this time, the visibility was low and the current was strong so we
couldn’t see and do much this on this dive time. By the second time
all our guests wanted to test their luck and adventure in a whale
watching tour! We saw several humpback whales but they were on the
shy side and never let us approached them. We did get to see them
from the pangas though and of course we enjoyed the beautiful panga
ride along the shore of Socorro. After lunch we went back to Cabo
Pearce looking to dive with Mantas one more time before going back to
San Benedicto. We saw on the first dive couple mantas the were
getting clean by clarion angel fishes! We did the last dive of the
day like at 5 pm, which gives a chance to see different underwater
stuff that gathered together at dusk, they show up either to mate or
to feed, stuff like convict surgeon tangs that graze on the algae
that covers the reef and steel pompanos that gather in huge schools
of couple hundred and wait for sunset to start the mating dance. We
plan to head back to San Benedicto tonight, so don’t miss the
tomorrow San Benedicto news, maybe humpbacks, maybe dolphins, maybe
baitballs, we will see!
