The first day of diving started with 3 dives. Three other ships were converging at the same point.
Clarity averages 10 mts, water temperature 24ºC. The influence of volcanic ash has come out a little, and the transparency is
While not the best, the fish are super energetic. Shark Parade (Hammer,

Of the three, the two in the morning were particularly good. to dolphins, manta rays and hammers
In addition, there is also a school of tuna that is worth seeing. Navy inspection after finishing three.
Day 6 (Apr23rd, 2023) Roca Partida
The conditions are perfect, especially the first two runs have a transparency of 20mts, a water temperature of 24ºC, and a good flow.
There was almost nothing, and when I was happy that I could easily dive, a whale shark appeared.
To be honest, Roca Partida is still a bit off, and there aren’t many big players.
Just when I was expecting it, this big guy suddenly appeared, and everyone suddenly got excited!

Although the wind became stronger and the transparency fell as forecast, it was within expectations.
The flow was strong in the first run and it was a tough fight. The 2nd and 3rd shots have calmed down a bit, and the hammer’s
End the last day while enjoying a large herd.
Day9 (Apr26th, 2023)
On the way back, we were hit by strong winds. The ship shook quite a bit, so some customers got drunk.
The wind did not weaken on the way, and the return trip was swaying from beginning to end,
Especially for the last 100 miles
It’s hard to know that this kind of thing can happen to a natural opponent.
