Roca Partida ,december 9th 2016
We have no words to describe all the good stuff we found today diving
at Roca Partida !! .Absolutely gorgeous ! .At the northern corner we
found 2 Mantas Chevron circling from the rock to the blue , swimming up
and down , when 2 big silvertip sharks were chasing them and finally
dissapear . A huge school of bonitas comes from the east and was
sourrended by 7 sylky sharks .when we check the ledges at the eastern
face of the rock ,lots of whitetip sharks were there .The current was
strong from south to north then we drift to the north for the second
dive and the mantas showed up again and the school of bonitas was closer
to the island this time , and a big school of amberjacks was close to
the rock .we saw big eye jacks ,tropical fish like puffers and morish
idols ,The water temperature was 78 º f / 26 º C , and the visibility
was 80 ft / 24 m .Diving at the southern corner , the current was
lesser thats why we chek the ledges with whithetips for the last time
and we drift from south to north this time .At south we found schools of
amberjacks ,trevalley jacks and from the depth a beautiful galapagos
sharks showed up !! and a silvertip was deeper .we drift along the
western face of the rock which is plenty of hard coral and sea urchins
and at the nortwest a manta chevron was there .to finish the dive wewent
to blue and lots of wahoos were in the blue .beautiful day !! see you
soon !!
