Second time was the charm for us here at Roca Partida!


Second time was the charm for us here at Roca Partida. We had to give our guests a second try at our favorite dive site. So when the wind calmed, we went for it and we`re all happy we did.
Today our divers were treated to great weather and great diving. The temperature was a mild 73 degrees F and visibility was nice at 100 ft. plus. As usual, Roca was crawling with white tip reef sharks and fish throughout the water column. In our three dives today, we saw schools of
galapagos, silver tips and silkies sharks down deep. The largest was on our final dive where we saw some sharks circling below us. And when I write below...I mean below. We dropped to about 120ft. and thirty galapagos sharks circled around us for a few minutes very close then continued along the wall. Some divers kept following them, but some waited a little shallower for the sharks to return and they did. It was a great sighting for us. Another highlight was during the first dive we saw a huge school of skip jack tuna, in just seconds before we could do anything all three groups of divers were surrounded  by this massive school of fish!. The school pulsed with movement reacting to some silvertips swimming through the large school. There must have been thousands. This was our last day of diving and we had some great and memorable dives..
Now we`re Cabo bound!
Until Next Time,
Dave Valencia
