Dee,
Just wanted to say thanks again to you, carlos and the rest of your crew for the great dives you took us on in late april. seeing the sand falls, all the rays and all the fish made for a wonderful time. We look forward to diving with you again on our next visit to Cabo.

All you divers, if you dive with carlos make sure you let him take you cliff diving, definitely worth the time out of the water

p.s. can you tell me what kind of fish this is??



thanks again azdive

Todays frist Dive was at Neptunes Finger
Water temp. was 77 degrees air Temp was 88 degrees
Water was calm no surge and no Waves.
Vis at the surface was poor but past 65 feet water was very clear.
Divers saw a big green sea turtle on top of the 60 foot reef.Also seen were lots of Med. sized Groupers, green Morays, Big school of Grunts, lobsters and lots of Tropical Fish.
2nd Dive was at Lands End way better Vis here. It looks like the plankton is staying inside the Bay but as the water is warming up this will start to kill it and improve the Vis.
Divers saw a big baitball just south of Last Rock and lots of Sea Lions were Playing around the Wreck.
At last Rock there were a few Nudibranchs, big Parrotfish, Cortez and King Angles, and two Whitetip Reef Sharks.This is a great location to see Mirco Life so dont forget to bring your camara.

Hi Divers

Thanks for the report, going to be down there next week, I will probably get a couple days of diving in with you guys, I appreciate your reports. I see you listing water temp, is that surface? Whats the temp at depth in the local dive sites (that is all I will have time for)
