Dive Trip Report
Jan 29, 2014
We couldn’t go to
Roca last night due to weather conditions, so we stayed another
day at San Benedicto.
We made the first
two dives at El Cañon and realized the water temperature has just
starting to drop a bit, now in the mid 70's but it cleaned the water up
and the visibility was better than it was last trip. On both dives we
had encounters with 5-6 different Mantas together swimming in line
formation over the ridge, some of these Mantas we saw yesterday
at El Boiler and now have moved to El canon, I think they were
chasing us up to here to keep enjoying our bubbles! Also we saw 5
dolphins on the first dive that played constantly with the
bigeye jacks as they like to do.
By the third and the
fourth dive the Mantas weren’t there anymore, so instead hanging
out by the anchor line waiting for more Manta shows, we went to the
cleaning station where we found 6 juvenile silvertip sharks were cleaned
by butterfly fishes. It seems that every time more baby silvertips
are joining to the cleaning station. This afternoon the
wind has came down a bit which now the conditions are the ideal ones
to go to Roca tonight, woo hoo!!
Stay tuned for more
adventures on the Solmar V!
Hasta la vista,
Erick Higuera.
