Like our diver states below... Gordo is still good, but there is not just Gordo here, the corridor has been with great vis lately and the local with the sea lions playing around starts as well to be very  atractive, sandfalls offer a great show falling strong...  just come and enjoy it with us!

" I dived with Luis at Gordo Banks last week (Friday, October 29th) and we saw at least 200 hammerheads on that dive..........and nobody will believe me back here at home in Canada!!
 
I had an awesome day, thank you guys very much. I'll be diving with you every time I'm down there."

BEST TIME OF THE YEAR...

September 28, 2010
 
It's now October and November.. even though we have not seen hammerheads schooling for the last 3 weeks, we still have a lot of activity in the Gordo Banks! Schools of green jacks, bonitas, yellow fins, wahoos... really a nice dive full of marine life. You really get motivated when seeing so much actoin down there.

Of course, hammerheads are the highlight of this trip but in any case, it is a different and worthwhile dive site. The water is war and beautiful in all of the sites.

We saw 1-2 Bull sharks in Cabo Pulmo in the last few trips. Local sites will have huge schools of bait-balls and sea lions in the coming weeks. Today we were lucky in the local sites swimming with a large school of mobulas.

The local and corridor sites are espectacular now with very clear and warm water. This is why October is stil one of my favorites months to dive in Cabo!

DEAR FRIENDS,

No hurricane hit so we are back on track.. Here are few pictures of some of the marine life we have been seeing in Gordo Banks lately. We have been lucky. Being in open water is like a box of chocolates (excuse the cliché) ... but you never know what you will get!

Come and dive!
 
Cheers,

Diving in Gordo Banks is just getting better day by day. We are seeing hammerheads on every dive, seems that our friends the marlins are letting themselves show off as well. We even saw 2 silky sharks 2 days ago. Gordo is The dive spot, and right now it's HOT!
 
We are also doing a nice trip starting with Gordo and then heading to another reef closer, this might be appealing too, we are open to a whole of different opinions and you could actually make your dive trip plan, check with me about that at mantascuba@gmail.com, I will be more than happy to organize something with you.
 
Here is a pic of the latest dive trip I went to, in Cabo Pulmo, great water this day, and a bunch of happy divers.
 
Cheers!

Just wanted to do a quick update regarding the most recent trips to Gordo Banks the East Cape. We have been seeing a lot of hammerheads and the waters have been busy with schools of pork fish,  huge amber jacks, goats, one pacific manta... Well yes, the waters have been busy!
 

Hope you can join us in these trips, the East Cape is becoming more popular and a nice option to combine so many different sites in one trip!

The week's report for the expeditions...
 


Cabo Pulmo was nice with lots of life and strong currents, and a Whale Shark sited on the third dive today!

We saw in Gordo Banks: Hammenrheads on 2 of the 3 trips, tons of marine life and nice rides with marlins jumping, dolphins, whales!

In the local diving, Nacho and John met the white tip shark face to face on the night dive.
 
We miss Claudio our star instructor ;), but he will be back soon from a well earned holliday in Argentina...
 
Looking forward to hear from you!

Back after some great hollidays and I bump into a bunch of good news, since we started running our annual trips to Cabo Pulmo and Gordo Banks it all has been good news.

Gordo: tons of fish with 1 Hammerhead, clear water from 0-60 ft and deeper then 80 ft on the last dive trip there which was less than a week ago.

Baby whale shark in Pulmo today with great water temp of 75f and good vis!

Local sites have been cool also, with white tip reef shark, some sea lions playing around and water temp changin from 70 to a surprisingly 75 and back again.
 
I'll be looking forward to hear from you for our full day trips.
 
Cheers!
