Wow folks! Today was the day!
Our first day at the majestic Roca Partida was outstanding, in the first morning dive, as soon as we were going down the Galapagos and Silvertip sharks welcomed us, of course the Whitetip Reef sharks did it, too. After hanging out with the sharks, we went around the rock and found the massive school of Bonitos being herded into a baitball by silvertips, galapagos and
silky sharks, it was really good, it was one of those dives that Roca likes to offer to its visitors.
In our second dive, the conditions had changed a lot, the current picked up and we got the chance to see some dolphins in a distance, but they didn´t show any interest with us this time. On the third dive however, about 25 bottlenose dolphins made ourt dive 35 minutes of non-stop dolphin action chasing hundreds of 200 pound yellow fin tunas, and a lots of silkies that tried to catch a tuna, wow! This time these guys made the dive, we couldn´t dive any longer, we all got low on air because of all the swimming we had to do to keep up with the action! The conditions were great, so we're planning on staying here another day!
Stay tuned for more Roca´s news!
¡Hasta la vista!

The Solmar V is a true four-season live-aboard that takes advantage of weather patterns to provide optimal diving year-round. We spend November - June Diving with giant mantas, wild dolphin, seasonal whales, and seven species of shark at the Socorro Islands and August-October we are cage diving with great white sharks at Guadalupe Island.
