Today. Monday we dove in Punta Tosca, Socorro. We did two dives there in the morning and after that, the check in at the Navy Base. The water temperature was 81 F and thew visibility 40 feet. Om the first dive we had mantas, white tip sharks and five silver tips. One of the group drifting with the current saw a Tiger shark pretty close to take pictures of him. For the second dive the current was stronger and the visibility lower, we had a couple of mantas. For the afternoon dive we came back to Cabo Pearce where we had an incredible dive with five friendly dolphins that stayed with us for more than ten minutes. Mantas and a couple of silkies were swimming around us.

The first full day of diving, the water temperature was 79F and the visibility 40 feet. We dove in El Canyon for the first three dives, where we saw a couple of mantas and the school of hammerheads, one silver tip and few white tip reef sharks. For the afternoon dive we moved to Cabo Pearce  where the visibility was 45 feet and the water temperature 78F. Two mantas, white tips and turtle at the beginning, but because the current was stronger here we drifted, and Nacho's group were the lucky ones because they saw a tiger shark into the blue.
