It was very hard to see them go! We had such a fun week. Our guest were Frogman Dive Center from Venezuela, Kathy from Colorado, Marli from Canada
and Marty from San Diego.
We started Saturday evening with calm seas and cold beer. Everybody had a lot to say and they all said it at the same time. Humor was the theme of
our week. It was a lot of fun to say the least.
Highlights were, sperm whales, risso dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, common dolphins by the hundreds and whale sharks. That was just above water.
Below the water was equally busy.
The water was warmer this week. Some places as warm as 86 degrees. Except El Lavadero at Animas we reached 73 degrees. burrrr. Water had
lots of nutrients in some places which made it appear as if we were diving in a snow storm. It was really cool. I'm sure that's why we had so many mammal
encounters. Several of our guests were meeting whale sharks for the very first time. We were able to swim with at least four.
We are looking forward to seeing them all again soon at the Socorro Islands.
For the moment, farewell and best wishes.

Hi Dora,
I am writing this note to you, Lolo and the entire gang that makes up the Rocio Del Mar to say a heartfelt thank you to all for another wonderful trip. I had a great time! Lots of new friends, great diving and great food. That about covers it, except for all of the topside sightings of sperm whales, Risso’s, bottlenose and common dolphins. What a blast!
I could go on and on about the specifics from the crew to the boat to the whale sharks to the nudibranchs, but I’ll never be able to include everything that I appreciate. I really do love being onboard the Rocio Del Mar.
Thank you again. I am really looking forward to coming back soon!
Cheers,
Marty Snyderman
