No swells, no wind, barely current and blue water, these were
the conditions we found at Las Cuevas dive site. We could not of asked for
better conditions to do our check out dives, that lasted for 50 minutes with
three small groups each one guided by Rodrigo, Thiago and myself Daniel.
Average depth was 12 m/40ft and the water temp was a warm
24.4℃/76℉. There was an abundance of lobster--so many that we
stopped counting! Zebra eels, sting rays, scorpion fish, green morays eels were
some of the things that kept us excited during the dive, the two swim thrus are
always fun to do. We stayed inside longer just to enjoy the over hang, hear all
the noises that corals produce and see the snappers hiding. White tip sharks
like this area too.
Further along we run into giant electric rays, trigger eels, and more diamond head sting rays. Then we
decided to come back to the reef, those areas with lots of hard coral packed
with tiny fish making it their home. It was a nice contrast in color, brown bottom
with green hard coral, the color of fish all over and blue water made our check
out dive very exciting.
A way to finish our first day of diving on the Solmar V was with
Mexican BBQ at the bow, mmmmm! Taquitos de carne asada!!! Such a gorgeous
sunset and of course we toasted with a glass of red wine for what lies ahead!
