We started our day with a dolphin dive!

Hi all from Isla Socorro!!
Our dive site today was CABO PEARCE. We started our day with a pod of 12 dolphins having a blast surfing the waves while we were making our way to the dive site! When we dropped in the water we noticed the water was a bit warmer 77F unless you found a refreshing cold water pocket, then temps dropped into the low 70s.  We hung out over the cleaning station where the dolphins showed up to play with us! We had the opportunity to swim along side them only an arm's reach away at least 4 different times on the same dive! The dolphins made sure to stop by one last time during our safety stop!  On dives two and three we swam along the reef and out into the blue where we found a few hammerheads, while the silky and Galapagos sharks were swimming above us!  On the reef we found lots of octopus, flounders, zebra moray, tiger reef eel, and a bunch of clarion angelfish, which can only be found at the Revillagigedos!
