Never disappointed, one of the remarkable
things of Roca Partida is known for it’s great visibility.
We are starting with stormy weather, however our reward was to play with about 15 dolphins at the beginning
of our first dive.
Throughout the day the beautiful blue visibility, lets us see more
than 30m/100ft from surface all the way down to the bottom. Great
wall dive with lots of hard coral, lobsters, green moray eels, lots of small
fish making several cleaning stations for Pacific creole fish, trumpet fish and
more, of course we can’t go without seeing one white tip reef shark because
they are all over, including pregnant females almost ready to burst! Some other
areas with only baby whitetip sharks literally speaking so cute that you want to
take one home! HA HA
Galapagos sharks kept coming back towards us
and not afraid at all so it gave the divers great photo opps.
Current was on during the entire dive and all
day with it water temperature got warmer up 26.6℃/80℉ according to dive
computers. In the south, it was nice to find a bit of shelter enough to stay
there long enough to see the parade of yellow fin tunas who stayed out of the
current. Lots of Black Jack fish did the
same thing by retracting against the wall. Some silver tip sharks showed up,
some hammerheads also in very deep water.
On the surface we had bit of rain! Wind was
blowing a little more than 27km/h, 15kn/h, nice to have some sunny moments as
well. At night we enjoyed watching more than 15 silky sharks going crazy
hunting flying fish, great show seeing those dorsal fins breaking the surface,
splashing water competing to get the fish!
