As good as it gets! East Cape goes off!


Cabo Pulmo has appeared absolutely stunning this last week providing great visibilty of 100+ feet and bath like temperatures in the low to mid 80's Fahrenheit. A ripping current gave chance for a thrilling drift dive, we covered two dive sites on one tank as we swooped through the masses of fish that flashed past us. The Big Eyed Jacks and the Yellow Snapper were competing to see who could take up the most room; the Panamic Porkfish won the prize for the most brightly coloured, gleaming from afar as we rapidly approached. One newly certified diver grinned broadly as she recalled trying to maintain her position next to a turtle, " I used up half of my air trying to stay with it even though it looked like it was hardly moving, it was so beautiful I couldn't bear to leave it!"
"So many brightly coloured fish, and big too," recalled another, " I couldn't believe it when we saw the Stingray, it was huge!"
A special treat was instore as we were starting to head back today. A keen eyed client spotted a dark blur as we sped along and on closer inspection it turned out to be a Giant Pacific Manta with a 12 foot wingspan, what a result! We donned snorkel gear and stealthily lowered ourselves over the side of the panga and within moments our masks were filled with the sight of this amazingly graceful creature. She hung still for a few moments, curiously checking us out, then with a casual flick of her wings disappeared leaving us wondering if she had even been there at all....incredible!
