Diminished diving conditions at the begininning of the week only lasted a few days and I'm pleased to report that the water now seems to be getting
warmer and clearer with each passing day. Yesterday the temperature at depth was 73' Fahrenheit with visibility ranging from 40 - 60 feet. Punta
Perico has been enthralling us with it's maze of swim throughs, a green Moray snaking between us as we swam in single file through a long corridor
gave a everyone a buzz. Shoals of Lisas are hanging around in the shallows, the rocks littered with Flower Urchins and Crown of Thorns starfish. We
encountered a huge pod of White Sided Dolphins whilst making our way between dive sites and our two guests took the opportunity to jump in the water
and try and sneak a peek. Skipper 'Chuy' Cota expertly positioned the panga in their path and our guests jumped in with mask and snorkels. I watched
as the dolphins passed either side and under the two snorkelers, it was all over in a moment but what an incredible experience for them. Other
sightings of note this week were a tiny juvenile Hawksbill turtle seen at Rancho Leonero Reef, a beautiful Zebra Moray that swam through my hands at
Cerro Verde and a pair of mating Nudibranchs at Punta Pescadero.
