Today we dove at Cabo Pearce. It was a bit windy but the diving conditions
were great. The water temperature was 78F/25C and the visibility varied from
40ft/12m to 100ft/30m.
The first two dives were very nice and calm. There
were lots of white tip sharks on the reef and 5 mantas going around. Unfortunately
they were not so friendly with the divers, most of them stayed shallow but we
were able to look at them from below into the sun and get great silo shots.
On the third dive the current picked up a lot
and we did a drift dive. At Cabo Pearce drift dives usually have a couple of
stops, as we got close to one of the cleaning stations we stopped and got the
reef hooks out and just stayed there watching the fish and white tips go by in
the current.
On the last dive the current was still very strong
but we stayed in the protected area of the reef checking out some of the small
stuff: octopus, flounders and all the cleaning reef fish. When we thought the
dive had ended, the manta that we had seen in the morning felt like playing
with the divers and was able to get very close and enjoy the divers’ bubbles.
