Safely arrived at San Benedicto Island at dawn.

4 dives today. Average transparency 10 mts, water temperature 23ºC.

A little current, school of sharks active, not just manta rays

Even dolphins appeared on the first day of diving.

In the second half, the transparency gradually decreased.

In the second half of the trip, the wind seemed to get stronger, so

On the second day of diving, I moved to ROCA PARTIDA and did three dives.

The point of Roca that used to be synonymous with Socorro

After all, I can’t see the gorgeousness like the old days again this time. but,

Keep a close eye on Galapagos sharks, silvertips, and tuna.

Clarity 20mts, water temperature 24ºC. As forecast, the wind will get stronger in the evening

It’s becoming !!

 

Jan 25th, 2023 Isla Socorro ( Punta tosca )

I started diving at Punta Tosca, except for one manta and a dolphin.

The ocean situation is not good enough, so I rounded up here with two. Clarity 10 mts, water temperature 23ºC.

After finishing the navy inspection, the third one moved to CABO PIERCE.

This is a fun one as the manta rays come close to the divers.

 

 

Jan 26th, 2023

Continuing from yesterday, CABO PIERCE today.

A very satisfying day with 4 manta rays !!

 

Jan 27th, 2023 Isla San Benedicto ( El Cañón )

The two runs in the morning were hit by strong currents, and the transparency was around 5 mts.

It’s pretty bad and disappointing. Conditions improved rapidly in the afternoon.

For Hammer, Silver Tip, White Tip, Galapagos, Dusky

In addition, tiger sharks ♪♪♪

 

Jan 28th, 2023 Isla San Benedicto ( El Boiler )

During the trip, this day was by far the best condition.

Clarity 30 mts! Water temperature 24ºC.

Tiger sharks will come out again, manta rays, hammers and

Enjoy 3 dives that are unique to Socorro where big fish appear one after another.

On the final day, I was finally able to show Socorro’s ability.

The guide also takes a breather.
