Best dive site this week was Manuelita. The first and second cleaning stations had very good hammerhead action. Punta Maria was also very good, as there were Galapagos sharks getting cleaned in the cleaning station, which made for an incredible sight. Alcyone got better and better as the week went on, with schools of hammerheads appearing in the blue. There wee also hammerheads around Dirty Rock, but deep.

The night dives to Ulloa and Manuelita Coral Garden were pretty spectacular. A tiger shark appeared on the dive to Ulloa, checking out the whitetips and circling the divers. Then in Manuelita Coral Garden two Galapagos shark and a tiger shark showed up!

It was an amazing trip with a very fun group of divers. To close out this thrilling trip the group got one more breathtaking sight. On the return to the mainland the entire group gathered at the bow, at night, to watch 10 dolphins, illuminated by the phosphorescence, leaping and riding the bow wave. A magical end to a very special trip to Cocos Island!
