On February 16th, we arrived at San Benedicto Island in the Revillagigedo Archipelago after a 24 hour boat journey from Cabo San Lucas, Baja Sur, Mexico. The crossing was not too bad for me, but a few folks got seasick. The night sky on the open ocean was, as expected, spectacular.
The boat is the Nautilus Belle Amie, a 112 foot live aboard dive vessel that carries 32 divers. The crew was fantastic, from the captain, Julio (aka Supreme Commander), to the hostesses, Cody and Alice, the Chef Extraordinaire, Enrique, and the dive masters: Stein, Xavi, Pablo, Nacho, and Ivan. They took great care of us above and below the water (though I was glad that below water they gave us the freedom to explore without having to stay glued to the dive master).
The water here is a few degrees warmer than it was in Cabo Bay, about 74-75 degrees Fahrenheit compared 66 minimum temperature in Cabo Bay.
The first day of diving did not disappoint with loads of sharks at a cleaning station.
On these dives I used the SportDiver housing with the 2500 and 5000+ lights.
