Dolphins, mantas, sharks, and more on our last day at San Benedicto!

Hi All!
So this morning we decided to dive EL BOILER at San Benedicto Island. The first thing that came to mind as we were making our descent is how blue the water was,and with all the various types of fish that were there, it made this exact moment a very special one! As we made our way to the southern point of the dive site, we recognized an individual dolphin we had not seen in a while!  We nick named him "Nemo" because it's right pectoral fin is a bit small and very hyperactive! This energetic dolphin played with our divers, swimming circles around us, going up and down, chasing fish, and more! We were so happy to see it again! A 6' tiger shark brought a little bit of extra excitement during our safety stop, swimming right at our divers without turning away at all.  It was a beautiful gray color with its characteristic stripes, our eyes locked on and we couldn't look away!
During our surface interval we went bait balling and consistently found more dolphins and yellow fin tunas.  Our fun didn't stop there, our second and third dive were at the same dive site and we had manta action the entire time! She let us swim along and blow bubbles beneath her over and over! In between these dives some of our guests snorkeled with 5 curious Galapagos sharks off the stern of the Solmar V including a pregnant female!
