Today we had a full day of diving with four amazing dives at Cabo Pearce in Socorro Island. The water temperature was 77F/25C, the visibility changed throughout the day ranging in between 30Ft/10m to 80ft/24m.
At the beginning of the first dive we had some bottlenose dolphins welcome us into the water but they just passed on by the current was strong so we went on wall part of the dive site to get protected by it were some white tip sharks, jacks, lobsters and free swimming moray eels were spotted. At the end of the dive close to the ascent line the dolphins showed up again and this time they played around with the divers.
For the second and third dive there were some mantas getting cleaned by the clarion angel fish but this time we had to watch from below hooked on the reef since the current was strong. The dolphins passed by again a couple of times. For the last dive we had a nice drift dive along the whole reef and as soon as we got out of it and started to ascent in the blue water three silky sharks were going around checking us out getting closer every time until we were out of the water.
Tonight we head to the other side of Socorro Island planning some dives at Punta Tosca were we spotted lots of juvenile sharks a couple of weeks ago hopefully they will still be around!
