Great Vis and warming weather


This Easter the weather has worked in our favour and another great week of diving has finished with three newly certified divers. Making our first training dives north of Buena Vista at Punta Pescadero and Cerro Verde we were spoilt with excellent conditions, water temperatures of 73' Fahrenheit were recorded along with impressive visibility of 60 - 80 feet. Huge plumes of Burrito and Graybar Grunts clouded the waters all around us, juvenile Bumphead Parrotfish and Yellowtail Surgeonfish were also prominent. A Spotted Eagle Ray crossed our path someway ahead of me, it tipped slightly to afford itself a better view of us as it gracefully glided along it's way. Out in the sand the Garden Eels were on good form as they twisted and swayed to their own rhythms, our divers were quite taken with these and commented that they could quite easily have spent the majority of their time just watching them dance. The reef at El Cardonal never fails to disappoint and this week was no exception. The vibrant coral heads were alive with a kaleidoscope of colour, fish bombarded us from every direction and an hour dive flew by in what seemed like a moment. Stone Scorpionfish were spotted despite their best efforts to meld into the background whilst Lobsters were poking their heads out from under ledges. Back on board the panga everyone was highly amused as they recalled the moment the large turtle swam over the top of my head with me blissfully unaware of it's presence, typical!
