Saludos from Socorro!
It was a day spent at one of our favorite Socorro Island dive sites! It was a cloudy day and the water was much cooler in the low 70's with 50'+ visibility! Our first dive was an exploratory dive trying to see what Socorro island had waiting for us! We found no mantas at their usual hangout so we  went searching for hammerheads in the blue. We were successful in finding many hammerheads here and there but not in a structured school. One group of divers was fortunate to see a large school of 50 or more but the sharks never got too close.  We found lots of octopus, scorpionfish, flounders, and tuna.
Dive two and three were much of the same but we did have a great manta encounters on the deep side of the divesite! The manta cruised the ridge of Cabo Pearce raising a wing to each group as it continued on its way. Between dives people enjoyed whales as they played nearby all day. A momma and baby proved elusive as far as letting us snorkel with them but we got to see a ton of great surface behaviors. All and all it was a successful day here in Socorro and we will now be making our way to Isla San Benedicto!
Until Next Time,
