Happy New Year!!

Here is our report from the 30th..
Dive Site: Gordo Banks
Max Depth 120ft
Water Temp 68-72f
Visibility 40-60ft
There was a plankton bloom going on at Gordo Banks when we were there and the visibility for the first 30ft was only around 10ft. Water conditions were nice with no real current. No sign of any Hammerheads unfortunately but we were surrounded by Bonito, Grouper, Snapper and we had a Manta with us at our safety stop!!

In the evening we also did a night dive out at Pelican Rock... Water temps were similar and the water was fairly clear. Lots of sleeping Parrotfish around a few Morays, Lobster shrimp and more!!

Happy Diving!!

Dive Sites: North Wall and Los Morros
Max Depth 60ft
Water Temp 70-73f
Visibility 15-40ft
Visibility was a bit low along the Canyon wall yesterday so we headed down the corridor a bit to dive Los Morros for the second dive where the water was much clearer. Lots of Morays around, Grouper, Scorpionfish, Surgeonfish, Parrotfish, a couple of Cortez Rays and as a great treat after the second dive we had a Humpback come up about 15ft from the boat... All in all a great day of diving in Cabo!!!

Sites: Gordo Banks and Palmilla
Max Depth 135ft
Water Temp 70-73f
Visibility 15-40ft
Had Whales jumping again on the surface throughout the day yesterday. Current was really ripping at Gordo Banks and we saw loads of Grouper, Snapper, Tuna, Bonito and a Sealion. Visibility here was around 40ft. After Gordo we decided to head over to Palmilla and the visibility there was patchy but it was still a fantastic dive. Its always packed with sealife there and reminds me of a flower garden. We saw Octopus, Lobsters, Electric Rays, a Green Turtle, Grouper, Snapper, Butterflyfish and lots more...I was sad to see the end of that dive!!
Happy Diving
