Mantas, tunas, and dolphins at San Benedicto!


Hola!
We started our day diving at El Cañon, hoping to find hammerheads and other creatures, but they were missing! Maybe they were deeper beyond our reach or they were on the other site of the site, or maybe the thermocline, because it was chilly! Anyway, even though the sharks were absent, a black and chevron manta showed up and interacted with every single diver! Both mantas passed over everybody´s heads and posed like if they were models! 
By 10 am we spotted a bunch of birds in the horizon, flying in circles gooing all crazy, that is a baitball sign, we went after it, got up to were the birds were, launched the pangas and went to check it out. This time there weren´t sailfishes or a shark feeding frenzy, but there was a lots of yellowfin tunas and many dolphins!  After lunch we did the last dive of the day, but the current had picked up this time and brought up a murky upwelling that dropped the vis.
Tonight, we´ll be heading to Roca Partida, stand by and check our Roca Partida news!
Hasta la vista!
