DIVE
REPORT JAN 20TH, 2014
On our first
day at Roca Partida, the water conditions were calm with 77°F/25°C
and a bit colder below the thermocline below 60’/18 m of 75°F/24°C and a 70’/20
m visibility. This
time the sharks were hanging out below our reach, they were too deep
probably around 170’/50 m, we pushed the limit of our maximum
recreational depth and the sharks were still deep. We assume there
must be another thermocline at that depth that is keeping the sharks
deep; anyway we could still watch them from a distance. Most of the
White tip Reef Sharks were swimming all around the rock, giving us
the chance to take great video and pics.
Even
though the sharks were too deep in the first 2 dives, by our third dive
the conditions changed a bit and as always the Hammerheads showed up
gathering together with Black Jacks at only 80´/25m. Yellow
Fin Tunas were cruising by the surface close to the rock, hopefully
for the next trips, more tunas will start coming by the rock. The
weather conditions are still good, so we’re staying another day at
Roca Partida.
Stay
tuned!
Hasta
la vista!
