Today was the last day of diving on this trip and once again everybody finished with a smile on their faces!

Hello.
Today was the last day of diving on this trip and once again everybody finished with a smile on their faces. The weather calmed down a bit so we finally made it to Roca Partida with really good conditions, water temperature of  77F/25C and visibility of 80ft/24m with a slight current from south east.
The first dive started with lots of with tips on the wall as usual and big schools of big eye jacks, with mouth jacks, creole and trigger fish at the distance you could see some yellow fin tunas passing by. On the end of last dive a big whale shark of at least 26ft/8m passed by but only some divers that were still on the water saw it.
For the second dive of course the question was, are we going to see the whale shark again and yes we did! It was going around the rock so we stayed in between the schools of small fish as it went by us very slowly and then waited there for it to pass again on its second lap, this time we all saw it.
On the last dive there were lots of yellow fin tunas hunting it’s always amazing to see how fast they are and how they change colors when in hinting mode. So that is how we end  one more trip out here in Socorro island keep tuned for our trip report video and our next trip that will be going out in a couple of days.
