Nov 25thm 2022 Isla San Benedicto ( El Cañón )
Visibility on the first day was around 10m. The water temperature is 27ºC.
I was able to do four dives perfectly. Although I felt that the manta rays were smaller than usual

Encountering, and seeing as if it were The Socorro,
Customers are very satisfied.
Nov 26th, 2022 Isla San Benedicto ( El Boiler )
For some reason, the number of manta rays is still small today.
Manta rays usually come out so much that I get tired of manta heaven
Only one came out though it was a boiler.
However, there are many other fish such as hammerheads.
4 dives without getting bored.
At the end, a group of hammers came out to a fairly shallow water.
This is also a rare occurrence, so it was a boiler with a different feeling than usual.
Nov 27th, 2022 Isla Socorro ( Cabo Pierce )
When I went south, it was about 20m with good transparency.
The water temperature here is also 27ºC. today is another lucky day with 4 dives.
All four dives are very good dives. manta rays, dolphins,
In addition to hammers, tiger sharks too!
Nov 28th, 2022 Isla Socorro ( Roca O Nélida & Punta Tosca )
In the first two, the manta rays came close to the divers.
Powerful. Volcanic ash was blown up for the second run, and the transparency was slightly reduced.
Observe the group of hammers firmly.

A gorgeous line-up of 4 on this day as well.
Nov 29th, 2022 Roca Partida
The condition of Roca Partida, which we are looking forward to, is not so good as the transparency is only 10m.
The water temperature is warm at 28ºC. Last year was a bad year for Roca Partida,
Maybe this year it makes me think that other points might be better than Roca
Thinness of fish shadow. Even the promised rocky white chips are scarce.
Nov 30th, 2022 Isla San Benedicto (El Cañón)
When I moved to EL CAÑÓN, it was many times better than Roca Partida! !
