Excitement was running high as we have been planning this trip to the ‘El Aguila’ for the past couple of days. What to expect to see and how the visibility would be.
So we set out with a small group in our speed boat. After passing Half moon bay we all saw a couple of fins show above the surface.
A shout went out from almost all: DOLPHINS!!!

For the next 20 minutes they played around the boat, ducking and diving around us. The camera came out along with the ooo’s and ahhhh’s.
Andrea and Nicole jumped in with a couple of guests and caught a brief but very close encounter with the pod of about 7, including a couple of youngsters.
A wave to the magnificent mammals that were heading south and we were off to the wreck, only one other boat when we arrived. Great timing and a great dive. Snappers and the large black groupers that are always around at new moon as well as a free swimming Green Moray Eel and a Giant Hermit Crab. Fairly good vizz followed during the shallow part of the dive on the reef where a lot of king crabs have been hanging out recently.
What a morning and first dive.
What’s next????
The girls’ sea horse on the 2pm dive…
